dc.description.abstractPosterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a syndrome characterized by headache, changes in mental status, epileptic seizure, visual disturbances, and typically alterations in posterior circulation of the brain. Ictal findings of this type of epileptic seizures and their response to the treatment vary. It is observed that single and/ or combined anti-epileptic drugs have been used in treatment of the seizures. Radiological involvement doesn't always correlate with clinical findings. The same also applies for the relationship between epileptic-seizure activity and distribution of radiological involvement. Simple partial seizures rapidly and well responding to the isolated treatment as well as course of status epilepticus may occur. The present study discussed how the current approach to epileptic seizures was associated with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome by presenting a report whose prognosis was good although the condition involved both basal ganglia and cerebral deep structures, and whose seizures ceased with magnesium replacement.
