Murat Dogan, Sema Baghaki, Yasemin Tekdos, Keziban Dogan.




Abstract

Introduction: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an entity that occurs due to vasogenic brain edema in predominantly posterior sections of the brain and characterized by headache, altered mental status, vision loss, or seizures.
Case Report: In this report, we present two women who developed PRES secondary to severe hypertension in pregnancy. Our goal is to outline the clinical features of the disease, diagnostic methods, management, and maternal outcomes.
Conclusion: The etiology of PRES may vary in a wide range including hypertension, kidney failure, preeclampsia/eclampsia, collagen vascular diseases, sepsis. Prompt recognition and treatment of the syndrome after severe preeclampsia or eclampsia have major importance in order to prevent permanent damage to the brain.

Key words: preeclampsia,hypertension,eclampsia
