Late postpartum preeclampsia with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a reversible syndrome
characterized by headache, seizures, altered mentation, and loss of
vision associated with white matter changes on imaging. We report here
a 27 year-old lady three weeks postpartum, presenting with posterior
reversible encephalopathy syndrome. She was treated successfully with
antihypertensives and showed dramatic improvement. This condition is
important to recognize and needs to be treated promptly to prevent
morbidity and mortality in pregnancy and postpartum
