Abstract

The paper describes a clinical case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) caused by hypertensive encephalopathy and acute uremia during labor. It is shown that magnetic resonance imaging used in clinical signs of preeclampsia or eclampsia can reveal central nervous system lesion, evaluate the severity of a lesion, and assess the need for urgent delivery, as well as objectively monitor convalescence and the efficiency of performed therapy in the postpartum period.
