“…An additional point of discussion in this case is that our patient lacked typical causes of hypercalcemia. Our patient had no evidence of hyperparathyroidism syndromes [5], vitamin D abnormalities, nor medications causing hypercalcemia, thus immobility was suspected as the most likely cause of outpatient's hypercalcemia.…”

“…Rising blood pressure can cause a blood-brain barrier breakdown, allowing intravascular fluid to ooze into the surrounding brain tissue and cause cerebral edema [ 9 , 10 ]. Blood transfusion may result in a rapid increase in blood volume, resulting in increased cerebral flow [ 11 ]. Vasogenic edema in PRES may result from acute cerebral hyper-perfusion that exceeds the limits of auto-regulation.…”

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare syndrome characterized by convulsions, headache, fatigue, impaired mental status, and decreased vision. It is mainly accompanied by hypertension. Although the pathophysiology of PRES is unknown, some theories revolve around cerebral autoregulation, the ability to maintain cerebral blood flow, or the brain's ability to maintain steady cerebral blood flow over a varying range of blood pressures by cerebral vaso-constriction or dilation. The presence of subcortical vasogenic edema in the posterior brain and hyperintensity lesions in the occipital and parietal lobes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is diagnostic. We present the case of a woman who acquired PRES after a postpartum hemorrhage with no underlying disease, eventually leading to a choroidopathy and sudden onset diminution of vision, early diagnosis of which saved the patient from the catastrophic complication of permanent blindness.

“…Although PRES is induced by various causes, including severe hypertension, eclampsia/preeclampsia, immunosuppressive medications, and various causes of renal failure, a small number of cases have also occurred after the correction of severe anemia. According to a recent literature review, there are 21 studies about PRES related to blood transfusion, of which five are related to uterine fibroids [ 6 ].…”

Uterine myomas are the most common benign pelvic tumors in women. The symptoms associated with uterine myomas are heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, abnormal uterine bleeding, and resultant iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), pelvic pain, infertility, and/or recurrent spontaneous abortion [1]. Severe bleeding can lead to IDA of up to 2.0 g/dL of hemoglobin (Hb). Transfusion-related immunologic or nonimmunologic complications are widely recognized, and neurological complications have also been observed in few cases of patients who underwent anemia correction.Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) can be caused by various causes and in a small number of cases, it occurs after correction of severe anemia. However, the characteristic fea-
