ABSTRACT
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) after scorpion sting was very rarely reported in literature. This is an authenticated report of PRES occurring, in a 3-year-old previously healthy girl, as a complication of the Moroccan Androctonus mauretanicus sting. According to the available and recent data, we attempt to discuss the potential mechanisms leading to this neurologic disorder and to determine the possible cause-effect relationship between scorpion venom and its development.
