Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a special type of cerebrovascular disease defined by clinical and imaging findings. The onset of PRES typically includes acute or subacute headaches, visual impairment, seizures, focal neurological defects and nonspecific symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. The purpose of this case report is to present the characteristics of these diseases in a pregnant patient with both preeclampsia and PRES, and to contribute to the literature by discussing the differential diagnosis.
