(a) At presentation: axial T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI showed multiple large areas of edema in the occipitoparietal regions. (b) At presentation: axial T2-weighted FLAIR MRI showed multiple large areas of edema in the occipitoparietal lobe, with the right greater than the left with no mass effect. (c) At 2-week followup: axial T2-weighted FLAIR MRI showed resolving edema. (d) At 5-month followup: axial T2-weighted FLAIR MRI showed no further edema.

Emergent brain CT and follow-up brain MRI demonstrated multiple large areas of edema in the occipitoparietal regions on T2 FLAIR images consistent with PRES (Figure 1). MR images showed multiple large areas of edema in the parieto-occipital lobe, with the right greater than the left with no mass effect (Figure 1). Follow-up MRI at 2 weeks and 5 months (Figure 1) showed resolution of the edema.
