[The course of early neurological rehabilitation in a patient with severe posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome]

Abstract

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is widely held to be a benign and potentially reversible disease. However, severe cases have been described in the literature. Data on the long-term outcome of these severe cases are scarce. Furthermore, there are no data focusing on potential benefits of neurological early rehabilitation in these patients. Here we present the clinical picture, neuroimaging features, rehabilitative course and long-term outcome of a patient with severe PRES who underwent early neurological rehabilitation.
