Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) commonly seen in hypertensive patients. It is due to failure of auto regulatory mechanism of posterior circulation of the brain due to acute rise in blood pressure (BP) leading to cerebral edema. This is a case report of 18 years old female a known case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)-cold agglutinin type who came to our hospital with history of headache and generalized tonic clonic seizures for 8-10 minutes. MRI brain showed bilateral asymmetric hyperintense lesions in parieto-occipital area and left fronto-temporal area. In view of above clinico-radiological entity, PRES due to AIHA was diagnosed and managed successfully. This case report mainly highlights that PRES can occur even with AIHA which is rather unusual entity.
