MRI reveals reversible lesions resembling posterior reversible encephalopathy in porphyria

M Celik et al. Neuroradiology. 2002 Oct.

Abstract

We report a 20-year-old woman who had an attack of acute intermittent porphyria with seizures, hallucinations, autonomic and somatic neuropathy. T2-weighted MRI revealed multiple lesions which were no longer visible 3 months later. We suggest a similar mechanism to posterior reversible encephalopathy underlying cerebral symptoms in porphyria.
