AI Article Synopsis
- A case presented acute encephalopathy characterized by posterior corticosubcortical vasogenic edema seen on MRI.
- Angiography revealed the presence of cerebral arterial vasospasm.
- The diagnosis of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis was established two days post-admission, illustrating the relationship between this condition and the symptoms observed.
Article Abstract
A case of acute encephalopathy with posterior corticosubcortical vasogenic edema on magnetic resonance imaging is reported. Angiography showed cerebral arterial vasospasm. A diagnosis of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis was made 2 days after admission. This report highlights the fact that acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis can be revealed by a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and that cerebral vasospasm can concur with vasogenic edema in this condition.
