Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiological syndrome that combines nonspecific neurological manifestations, sometimes severe (coma, status epilepticus), with typical brain imaging showing mostly bilateral, symmetrical abnormalities, predominantly affecting the white matter. Termed "reversible," the norm is a return to the previous neurological state. However, this recovery is not always guaranteed, with potential neurological sequelae or even progression to death. PRES has multiple etiologies. The primary etiology associated with PRES is substance consumption. However, cases of PRES following cannabis consumption are rare. Here, we present the case of a 27-year-old man admitted for the management of a feverless altered state of consciousness, whose investigations eventually revealed PRES due to cannabis consumption.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a radio-clinical entity associating reversible damage of the central nervous system and typical brain imaging. The clinical context is often suggestive with, in half of cases, the use of vasoactive substances (cannabis, antidepressants, nasal decongestants) and/or postpartum. The etiologies are dominated by hypertensive encephalopathy, preeclampsia, eclampsia, immunosuppressive therapies, and systemic diseases.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, a component of marijuana, interacts with cannabinoid receptors in brain involved in memory, cognition, and emotional control. However, marijuana use and schizophrenia development is a complicated and contentious topic. As a result, more investigation is needed to understand this relationship.

Purpose: Survival rate of childhood cancers is now reaching 80% overall. However, early or late complications related to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy remain at a high rate and greatly increase the risk of late mortality. The objective of this study is to assess the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, measured through heart rate variability indices in childhood cancer survivors compared with healthy controls.

Cannabis use is associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia, and is considered to impact late neurodevelopment. Neurological soft signs (NSS) associated with schizophrenia are considered as markers of early neurodevelopmental impairment. Our study examines the association between heavy cannabis use before the onset of psychosis and clinical, neuropsychological and neurological symptoms, including NSS.
