Abstract
Spinal cord involvement (SCI) is a rare feature of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), especially in children. SCI is generally symptomatic, and may have a different outcome compared with encephalic localization of PRES. We reported about two cases of SCI in pediatric patients with PRES, after multimodal anticancer therapies, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted agents.Entities:
