Abstract
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS), also known as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), is a rare
neurological disorder and patients with eclampsia, suffering from it has a high probability. PRES is a clinico-radiological syndrome characterised
by headache, seizures, altered mental status, and disturbed vision. It involves white matter vasogenicedema that affects the posterior occipital and
parietal lobes of the brain. In the present study, we report a case of a 24-year-old primigravida with twin pregnancy (dichorionicdiamniotic) of 36
weeks and four days associated with mild pregnancy induced hypertension leading to the development of PRES after PPE postpartum ecclampsia.
