1 A 42-year-old woman who presented with altered mental status and lethargy.
A 42-year-old woman who presented with altered mental status and lethargy. FLAIR imaging (A) demonstrates signal hyperintensity involving the cortex and underlying subcortical white matter in the parietal and occipital lobes (white arrows), consistent with PRES. There is no evidence of associated diffusion restriction. Trace sulcal subarachnoid hemorrhage was also noted overlying the right frontal lobe (not shown). Note subtle irregularity and multifocal narrowings involving distal cortical branches of the bilateral middle and anterior cerebral arteries (black arrows) on cerebral angiography (B), suggestive of RCVS. The patient made a full recovery, with complete resolution of cerebral areas of abnormal FLAIR hyperintensity (C) and cerebral vasoconstriction (not shown). T.R. Miller et al.
