Abstract
We describe here a case of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) in a 15 year old girl who presented with new onset seizures, high blood pressure and hematuria. She was diagnosed to be a case of post streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Initial Imaging was suggestive of edema of bilateral parietal and occipital regions which showed complete reversal on controlling blood pressure with medications.
