Hypertensive encephalopathy, a condition causing brain swelling, can present atypically. This case highlights reversible thalamic changes on MRI as a rare sign of reversible posterior leucoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS).

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Hypertensive encephalopathy is a neurological emergency associated with severe hypertension.
  • Reversible posterior leucoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is the neuroradiological finding often seen in hypertensive encephalopathy.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient experiencing hypertensive encephalopathy.
  • The patient exhibited reversible bilateral thalamic changes on T2-weighted Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging.

Findings:

  • The observed thalamic changes represent an atypical manifestation of RPLS.
  • This finding underscores the diverse imaging presentations of hypertensive encephalopathy/RPLS.

Implications:

  • Prompt and accurate diagnosis of hypertensive encephalopathy/RPLS is crucial for effective patient management.
