Abstract

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disorder characterized by signs of posterior cerebral edema upon radiographic examination. A 16-year-old girl was involved in motorcycle accident and depressed frontal fracture was presented. She had generalized seizures 3 days after dural repair and fracture reduction. Signal changes was noted on both parietal lobes in the magnetic resonance images and it was completely resolved in 3 months follow-up. We would like to present the case that demonstrated PRES related hypertension after head trauma surgery for cerebrospinal fluid leakage in pediatric patient without any underlying disease.
