Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; Other names: Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome visible on magnetic resonance imaging as multiple cortico-subcortical areas of T2-weighted hyperintense (white) signal involving the occipital and parietal lobes bilaterally and pons.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare clinical disease characterized by cerebral edema. [12] The exact pathophysiology , or cause, of the syndrome is still debated but is hypothesized to be related to the disruption of the blood-brain barrier. [ 12 ]
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome has a similar presentation, and is found in 10–38% of RCVS patients. [1] RCVS is diagnosed by detecting diffuse reversible cerebral vasoconstriction. [1] Catheter angiography is ideal, but computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography can identify about 70% of cases. [1]
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome; Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts. It can also refer to gene MLC1 or Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts 1, a human gene related to the former disease. Hypertensive leukoencephalopathy; The classification of leukoencephalopathies is a matter of ...
In addition, there have been reported cases of the posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. [12] Recently, an analogue of ponatinib was developed that retained anti-tumor efficacy but had reduced cardiovascular toxicity in experimental models. [13]
Hypertensive encephalopathy (HE) is general brain dysfunction due to significantly high blood pressure. [3] Symptoms may include headache, vomiting, trouble with balance, and confusion. [1] Onset is generally sudden. [1] Complications can include seizures, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and bleeding in the back of the eye. [1] [3]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and often fatal viral disease characterized by progressive damage (-pathy) or inflammation of the white matter (leuko-) of the brain (-encephalo-) at multiple locations (multifocal).
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) can also result from medication toxicity. [4] [8] [12] Symptoms similar to those of leukoencephalopathy patients have been seen in PRES patients. However, the prognosis of toxic leukoencephalopathy is typically slightly worse than that of PRES because toxic leukoencephalopathy is more likely ...
