Description
Summary:Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is known to be associated with septic encephalopathy. The pathophysiology of septic encephalopathy is thought to involve inflammatory immune response pathways. We are reporting a patient with septic encephalopathy and PRES with well documented inflammatory biomarkers and neuroradiological findings.
