Postpartum Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES)‎: Three Case Reports and Literature Review

Abstract EN

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a rare complication generally associated with headache and acute changes in blood pressure.

Delay in the diagnosis and treatment may result in death or in irreversible neurological sequelae.

We present three cases of PRES occurring in young women during puerperium.

We report a literature review ranged from January 1990 to June 2015 describing clinical features, diagnostic and medical approach, and maternal outcome.
