Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare entity involving brainstem
in very rare reported cases. We describe here the case of a boy who presented to the
emergency department for headaches and strabismus. Diagnosis of PRES was retained by
magnetic resonance imaging. The causes were blood pressure urgency and renal failure.
Location of lesions was very rarely reported in literature and neurological troubles were
persistent. Emergency physicians should evocate PRES each time there is a clinical
context associated with neurological troubles by a normal brain CT scan. Early diagnosis
is very important to treat its causes and improve prognosis.
