Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an uncommon neurological entity which presents with diverse neurological symptoms ranging from headache, seizure, visual symptoms with altered consciousness and focal signs. The hallmark of this condition is its reversibility. The etio- pathogenesis is attributed to vasogenic cerebral oedema seen in occipital and parietal lobes of brain. We hereby present this case of a multiparous lady presenting with altered sensorium postpartum. Characteristic findings on imaging helped us to form the diagnosis of PRES in this patient
