EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological condition characterized by acute neurological symptoms and distinctive imaging findings, often associated with hypertensive disorders such as eclampsia.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 29-year-old primigravida at 34 weeks of gestation who presented with seizures and visual disturbances. MRI revealed symmetrical vasogenic edema in the parieto-occipital regions. Prompt management led to complete clinical and radiological recovery.

Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of recognizing typical imaging patterns of PRES in the context of eclampsia to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
