Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), also known as reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS), is a rare condition in which parts of the brain are affected by swelling, usually as a result of an underlying cause.
Roosevelt's physicians never mentioned Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) in their communications concerning Roosevelt's case, indicating that they were not aware of it as a diagnostic possibility. [7]: 455 All reports before 1921 of what became known as GBS were by European physicians, in European journals. The result was that very few American ...
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 ...
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]

Complications can include seizures, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and bleeding in the back of the eye. [1] [3] In hypertensive encephalopathy, generally the blood pressure is greater than 200/130 mmHg. [1] Occasionally it can occur at a BP as low as 160/100 mmHg. [4]
He assailed the President as a "tired old man" with "tired old men" in his cabinet, pointedly suggesting that the President's lack of vigor had produced a less than vigorous economic recovery. [133] Roosevelt, as most observers could see from his weight loss and haggard appearance, was a tired man in 1944.
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]
