Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a radio clinical entity associating a reversible central nervous system involvement with a common brain-imaging feature. There is a great variability in the clinical presentation of this syndrome and in the features of its sometimes-atypical imaging appearance. PRES is an unusual neurological complication occurring during pregnancy or in the post-partum period, other than any pre-existing pathology occurred. Vasogenic oedema due to the rupture of the blood-brain barrier seems to be its main cause. We present here the 1st UNUSUAL case of PRES complicating total nephrectomy for destroyed kidney on pyonephrosis in our structure.
