OBJECTIVE

To identify a correlation between systolicdiastolic blood pressure (BP) and severity of clinical/radiological presentations in patients with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Clinical and paraclinic data of patients with PRES hospitalized in the Republican Clinical Hospital, Kazan in 2010—2018 were analyzed. Nineteen patients were found, all of them were women, aged 18—67 years, mean age 33.50±15.03 years. Clinical and paraclinic data included anamnesis, neurological examination, neuroimaging, first measurements of systolic and diastolic BP after symptoms’onset.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

Diastolic BP values can be associated with the incidence of depression of consciousness, systolic BP values — with the number of damaged structures. In total, BP is the significant factor implemented in the presence of endothelial dysfunction that defines the severity of encephalopathy.
