Abstract
- Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy with hypertension is characterized by an acute and severe rise in blood pressure with headache, altered mental status, cortical visual disturbance, seizure and transient edematous changes in neuroimaging. The most common abnormality in neuroimaging is presumed edema involving the cortical and subcortical white matter predominant in the posterior region of the cerebral hemisphere and rarely the cerebellum and the brain stem, but not in the spinal cord. We experienced a case of 10-year-old girl with hypertensive encephalopathy involving the brainstem and the spinal cord.
