Abstract:
A retrospective study was conducted in 8 patients with reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome to analyze the clinical and MRI findings and follow-up outcomes of the disease.The participants clinically presented with elevated blood pressure(n=8),blurred vision(n=6),severe headache(n=4),dysphofia(n=4),impaired shon-term memory(n=2),and seizure(n=6).The most important imaging finding Was vasogenic edema,which showed better prognosis.
