- Abstract
- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by headache, altered mental function, seizures,
and loss of vision predominantly affecting the bilateral parieto-occipital area. Most cases of PRES are associated with
hypertension, or use of immunosuppressants or cytotoxic drugs; associated brainstem and cerebellar lesions are
uncommon. We report herein a case of PRES that developed in a patient after injecting a steroid for cervical pain
management. The presence of a territorial lesion along the vertebral artery on the same side as the pain-management
procedure suggests an association between injectable steroid suspension and PRES. Key Words: Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome, Steroids, Pain management
