Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome caused by presumed Takayasu arteritis.

We report of a 5-year-old girl with presumed TA who presented with PRES and chronic total occlusion in the renal artery. The findings on magnetic resonance imaging suggested PRES. Left nephrectomy was performed for total occlusion of the left renal artery, and the confirmatory diagnosis of TA was based on the pathologic findings of the renal artery. PMID: 28018468 [PubMed]
