“…With regard to the 51-year-old woman with PRES-related hypercalcemia described in the Case Report, we agree with authors’ insight that there are various possible causes of the neurological symptom of high-level serum calcium. In a similar Case Report by Mirian et al [ 2 ], a 74-year-old woman with PRES is described with elevations in serum calcium associated with this syndrome; her imaging abnormalities completely resolved after the serum calcium returned to normal. There is also the case of a 38-year-old woman with breast tumor reported by Camara-Lemarroy et al [ 3 ]; for this patient, the treating physicians considered the physiopathological mechanisms of malignant hypercalcemia (14.5 mg/dL) that can lead to neurological symptoms corresponding to PRES.…”

“…Hypercalcemia-induced PRES is rare, and a few cases of PRES triggered by hypercalcemia have been reported. We have tabulated the reported cases of hypercalcemia-induced PRES in Table 2 [ 5 - 10 ].…”

“…Several diseases have been reported to increase the risk of developing PRES, such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and preeclampsia, and chemotherapeutic drugs have also been reported to be associated with PRES [ 3 , 4 ]. PRES induced by hypercalcemia is uncommon and not widely underlined in the literature [ 5 - 10 ]. We highlight a case of malignant hypercalcemia-induced PRES in a female patient diagnosed with advanced breast carcinoma.…”
