Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The cause of “posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome” (PRES) is not established. We recently encountered several patients who developed PRES in the setting of severe infection. In this study, we comprehensively reviewed the clinical and imaging features in a large cohort of patients who developed PRES, with particular attention to those with isolated infection, sepsis, or shock (I/S/S).
