Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 09/2014, Volume: 7, Issue: 3Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Pre-eclampsia is one of the most important causes of a rare cliniconeuroradiological entity called posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by headacke, visual disturbances, seizures, altered mental status and radiological findings of edema in the white matter of the brain areas perfused by the posterior brain circulation. CASE REPORT: Here we present a patient with sudden bilateral visual loss and deafness in early postnatal period without any other neurological deficits, but with affiliated ophthalmological pathology. The correct diagnosis was made 3 days after the Cesarean section.The patient was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and bilateral choroidal detachment. CONCLUSION: Vascular changes in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome can cause visual disturbances not only by brain edema, but combined brain and ocular pathology.
