  • Title: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome revealing acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
    Author: Aeby A, David P, Fricx C, Jissendi P, Blecic S, Van Bogaert P.
    Journal: J Child Neurol; 2006 Mar; 21(3):250-1. PubMed ID: 16901429.
    Abstract:
    A case of acute encephalopathy with posterior corticosubcortical vasogenic edema on magnetic resonance imaging is reported. Angiography showed cerebral arterial vasospasm. A diagnosis of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis was made 2 days after admission. This report highlights the fact that acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis can be revealed by a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and that cerebral vasospasm can concur with vasogenic edema in this condition.
