Crise convulsive du péri-partum

Posterior reversible encephalopathy is a rare syndrome. The pathophysiology is poorly understood. It refers to a clinicoradiologic entity characterized by headaches, altered mental status, seizures, cortical visual disturbances, and transient white matter lesions involving parieto-occipital regions. MRI findings are characteristic of the diagnosis and diffusion weighted imaging has been also suggested as having prognostic value. We report an unusual peri-partum in neurologic complication that occurred after an uneventful pregnancy.
