Probable autoimmune hepatitis and systemic sclerosis complicated by reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome: An unusual association

We report a case of systemic sclerosis associated with probable autoimmune hepatitis that progressed rapidly to reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome with loss of vision, seizures, and coagulopathy. Brain computed tomography showed faint low density in the bilateral occipital lobes and posterior parietal lobes with edematous change. Fortunately, the patient's clinical condition considerably improved 2 days following the initiation of 100mg intravenous hydrocortisone infusion.
