Vanishing brainstem edema.

Mark O McCarron1, C Steven McKinstry.   

Abstract

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome caused by hypertension is well recognized with magnetic resonance imaging. We report a patient in whom posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome involved just the brainstem, caused a pontine stroke, and subsequently both clinically and radiologically improved with antihypertensive therapy.
