The posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical radiological entity characterized by neurological deficit, seizures, and may reach a coma. It requires diagnostic imaging for evidence of vasogenic edema reversible pathophysiological process, supported by computerized tomography or magnetic resonance, the latter with greater sensitivity to differentiate it from cytotoxic edema that is irreversible. Pathophysiologically, several factors are associated with poor cerebral self-regulation, in this case, severe preeclampsia, which highlights the clinical and imaging involvement of the brainstem. The establishment of an appropriate and timely treatment allows visualizing the regression of the lesions, which otherwise would end up infarcting
