Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome After Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection in Patient with Choroidal Neovascular Membrane Secondary to Age-Related Maculopathy

Abstract

The posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a complex of cerebral disorders including headache, seizures, visual disturbances, is associated with a variety of conditions in which blood pressure rises acutely. Arterial hypertension can occur in systemic administration of bevacizumab. A few cases of systemic injection of bevazicumab-induced PRES have been reported. In this article, we first report on a patient who developed PRES following intravitreal bevazicumab.
