Abstract:
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is noted by a reversible syndrome of headache, altered mental function, seizures, and loss of vision associated with findings indicating predominantly posterior leukoen-cephalopathy on imaging studies. Reversible vasospasm and brain capillary leak syndrome are usually suggested to the pathophysiologic mechanism of RPLS. We report 6 patients with RPLS, which showed peculiar findings in the MRA.
