Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome mimicking subacute ischemic stroke: a case report()
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, an acute onset neurological syndrome, is among the conditions that must be differentiated from stroke. Herein, we report a rare case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome mimicking subacute ischemic stroke. A 68-year-old man was transferred by...

description | Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, an acute onset neurological syndrome, is among the conditions that must be differentiated from stroke. Herein, we report a rare case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome mimicking subacute ischemic stroke. A 68-year-old man was transferred by ambulance to our hospital because of visual disturbance. He showed left homonymous hemianopsia. Magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging) revealed high signal intensity in the right occipital lobe. We suspected subacute cerebral infarction. After admission, he developed cortical blindness and increased blood pressure. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging revealed high signal intensity and elevated apparent diffusion coefficient values in the bilateral occipital lobes. We diagnosed the patient with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Antihypertensive treatment improved his clinical symptoms. Careful imaging assessment, including of changes over time, is important for diagnosing posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. |
