Мирзаева Дилноза Фархадовна
Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is considered a clinical-radiological syndrome characterized by headaches, seizures, altered consciousness, and visual disturbances. This syndrome was first described in 1996 by Hinchey et al. With the widespread use of brain MRI, the diagnosis of this syndrome has become possible. Objective of the clinical observation to describe PRES in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who received pre-treatment with dexamethasone. We present a case of a child with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in the context of acute lymphoblastic leukemia during the induction phase of remission. The child received timely symptomatic therapy in the intensive care unit. Brain MRI was performed, which helped establish the diagnosis for the patient in a timely manner.
