Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a serious clinico-neuroradiological maternal complication in pregnancy. Although it has various etiologies such as hypertensive encephalopathy, renal failure, autoimmune disorders, sepsis, multiple organ failure, and treatment with immunosuppressant or cytotoxic agents, pregnancy and postpartum complicated by hypertensive disorders more frequently lead to this condition. PRES is clinically characterized by headache, confusion, seizures, vomiting, and visual disturbances with radiographic vasogenic edema especially affecting symmetrical parietal and occipital lobes. The underlying pathophysiology is still a matter of debate. Prompt recognition and early intervention greatly improve the prognosis, so that obstetricians should be well aware of this rare entity. Timely imaging is of crucial importance especially in patients with an uncertain diagnosis for determining the appropriate treatment and preventing the possible development of neurologic deficits. In the present report, three cases of PRES are presented with clinical and radiological findings in pregnancies complicated by severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. The latest literature in the field is also carefully reviewed.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with various neurologic or psychiatric abnormalities and Posterior Reversible Leuco Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is very rare neurological manifestation in SLE. PRES is associated with various clinical manifestations, like, seizures, visual loss, headaches, vomiting altered mental status and rarely focal neurological deficits. Other predisposing condition associated with PRES is eclampsia, accelerated hypertension, uraemia, transplantation, autoimmune diseases and/or use of immunosuppressive drugs. It is important to recognise PRES since it is a potentially reversible. We describe an unusual case of PRES caused by uraemia during lupus flare up in a patient with biopsy proven class IV lupus nephritis who presented with features of asymmetrical quadriparesis which completely reversed after haemodialysis sessions and treating lupus flare up. In our case she presented with quadriparesis which is a rare presentation and hypertensive encephalopathy was not present.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized clinically by headache, seizures, vomiting, altered mental status, and blurred vision. However, with overlapping and atypical clinical symptoms, PRES becomes a diagnostic challenge. We describe the imaging findings of PRES in magnetic resonance imaging and ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in an 11-year-old child who presented with features of hypertensive encephalopathy.
