Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare complication of paclitaxel chemotherapy. Early recognition and management of neurological symptoms after treatment are crucial for patient recovery.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiological condition often linked to hypertension, renal issues, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancer therapies.
- While PRES has been documented with various chemotherapy agents, its occurrence after single-agent weekly paclitaxel is uncommon and poorly described.
