This case report and accompanying discussion detail Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES), a neurological condition presenting with seizures, visual disturbances, and altered mental status. Often misdiagnosed as more severe conditions like intracranial hemorrhage, PRES demonstrates reversible brain swelling on MRI. The case highlights a patient initially suspected of intracerebral hemorrhage whose diagnosis was revised to PRES, leading to successful treatment and recovery. The article also explores the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PRES, including emerging links to COVID-19 infections. The authors emphasize the importance of thorough neuroimaging to ensure accurate diagnosis and avoid premature withdrawal of life support.
