Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES): Who, What When? by Tommy T. Thomas, MD, PhD

[@dianasantos2162]

Cannot find any decent resources for PRES! Have had a 2nd bout, 6 months later, and I really need understanding of this! BP has been as high as 229/139. Was given nicardippine

I have been diagnosed with this. Had a very awful seizure before they MRI to find out. I was diagnosed with an auto immune kidney disease in my early 20s. Blood pressure has gotten worse and worse over the years.

In 2012 I had a major stroke and was diagnosed with press syndrome.

Could an epidural csf leak cause this?! My wife developed this after giving birth and had a csf leak and a blood patch to repair it... Please advise.

[@twokay1284]

no. CSF leaks would cause low blood pressure if anything, but even that is sketchy. This occurs from an abnormally high blood pressure.

How was your recovering? My girlfriend has that, I found her having seizures and performed 911 and saved her and our baby’s life. It’s been 3 days now and her mri showed she had Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. She had a c-section and the baby is fine but my girlfriend had To be sedated Because she had Eclampsia. I’m hoping and praying that she makes a full recovery. How was your experience and how long did it take for you to recover
