Case report highlights PRES in a cancer patient post-immunotherapy, suggesting need for awareness in treatment.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological syndrome characterized by neurotoxic effects such as seizures, impaired vision, and headaches as well as vasogenic edema predominantly seen posteriorly on imaging. The advent of new immunotherapies in cancer patients has brought increased awareness to PRES, and a need for high clinical suspicion to expedite treatment of the underlying risk factors. We present a rare case of PRES following immunotherapy with Nivolumab and Ipilimumab.
