Central-variant posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in association with adrenal insufficiency: A case report
This case highlights adrenal insufficiency as a possible novel precipitant of the central variant of PRES, emphasizing the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious neurological outcomes. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism of PRES from adrenal insufficiency is most likely labile blood pressure causing rapid alterations in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) precipitating PRES.
