Description Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by transient vasogenic cerebral edema with multiple etiologies and typically presents with seizures, headache, visual disturbance and mental status changes. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is defined by clinical criteria including atypical presentation of opportunistic infections, tumors or inflammation, decreased viral load (VL) and increased CD4 lymphocytes. To our knowledge, only two cases associating PRES with IRIS in HIV/AIDS have been described.
