Magnetic resonance imaging brain showed hyperintense and oedematous gyri in bilateral parieto-occipital region in T2 flair, suggestive of PRES or reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) as seen in Figure 2.
a scatter diagram suggesting patient recovery and follow-up, it shows gradual increase in platelets as per day of admission suggesting improvement in patient condition

He was then followed up after one month which showed the blood pressure to be 120/68 mm Hg, the platelets were improved to 3.5 lacs/cumm (Table 1, Figure 3) and renal function test showed urea- 54 mg/dL and the creatinine- 1.0 mg/dL. Also, there was improvement in blood parameters, hemoglobin- 10.3 gm/dl, platelets- 3.5 lacs/cumm (Figure 3) and renal function as the renal function tests showed- urea- 64 mg/dL, creatinine- 0.8, sodium- 140 mg/dL and potassium 3.8 mg/dL.
