Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an entity combining reversible central nervous system damages with characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain imaging, it can occur in peripartum regardless of any preexisting pathology. PRES in peripartum is a poorly understood phenomenon. Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent irreversible neurological sequelae. We report 6 cases series of PRES, collected at obstetrics and gynecology department of the military hospital Mohamed V in Rabat, between 2000 and 2019, in order to describe and analyze epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects. Average age was 27 years old. Found symptoms were: high blood pressure, seizures, headaches, visual disturbances, consciousness disorders, vivid osteotendinous reflexes, vertigo, nausea and vomiting. Associated complications were status epilepticus, eclampsia, haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome and acute lung edema. Radiologically, found lesions are suggestive of PRES. After management, evolution was favorable in all patients.

Brain lesions related to pregnancy are not frequent, but are potentially lethal. About half of the cases are intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, infarction, and venous thrombosis. Their imaging characteristics are not much different from those caused by other reasons than pregnancy, and can be relatively easily recognized. The other half of cases are encephalopathy related to pregnancy-induced hypertension, eclampsia, and other factors. Such pregnancy-related vascular encephalopathy can be grossly sorted into 3 categories: posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, HELLP (hemolysis-elevated liver enzymes-low platelets) syndrome, and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. These conditions are rare, but neurosurgeons must be able to recognize them.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a adult female

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a clinico-neuroradiologic diagnosis, with rapidly evolving neurologic condition, characterized by headache, confusion, altered mental status, seizures, cortical blindness, lethargy, stupor, and occasionally, focal neurological signs accompanied by a typical computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging pattern. With early recognition and treatment, complete resolution of symptoms occurs. Typical imaging findings characteristically involve the white matter bilaterally in the parieto-occipital regions. Atypical imaging finding of contrast enhancement of lesion can occur, but is less common. A 20-year-old primiparous lady presented with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case in Nigeria. This case-report highlights the importance of recognizing the salient imaging features in this lethal but reversible entity with prompt management.
