- Abstract
- We report a 62-year-old woman with a simultaneous occurrence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
(PRES) and Guillain-Barr? syndrome (GBS). The simultaneous presence of PRES in GBS is unusual and can easily escape
recognition, with potentially serious consequences for the patient. Previous reports showed that the simultaneous or
initial manifestation of PRES in GBS is more common in elderly female. The preponderance of female in older age may be
due to age and gender related difference in sympathetic nerve activity. Key Words: Guillain-Barr? syndrome, Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, Sympathetic nerve system
