Figures & data
Table 1. Clinical and laboratory data of our study.
Figure 1. MRI at presentation of PRES. T2-weighted image (A1) and FLAIR image (B1) show high signal abnormalities bilaterally in the parietooccipital regions, in both subcortical white matter and cortical gray matter. MRI after 2 weeks of follow-up shows complete disappearance of all high signal abnormalities in both T2-weighted image (A2) and FLAIR image (B2).

Figure 2. Glomerulus from a H & E stained section, showing significant loss of mesangial matrix, with a fluffy appearing remaining mesangial area and retraction of capillary tufts (mensagiolysis). The glomerular capillaries are congested and dilated (H&E × 250).
