Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is an acute encephalopathy characterized by headache, altered consciousness, visual symptoms and convulsions. Diagnosis is supported by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the Brain. Here we report a case of PRES in a 24-year-old-male who showed complete recovery with the control of blood pressure. Finally Post Infectious Glomerular Nephritis (PIGN) was found to be the underlying etiology of hypertension to develop PRES.

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is an invasive disease caused by fungi. Diabetes mellitus and solid organ transplantation are known risk factors, while it is increasingly recognized in patients with COVID-19 although the exact causal relationship is unknown. Early diagnosis and treatment with liposomal amphotericin B with surgical debridement carries a better outcome in these patients. We present a case of extensive rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis involving the paranasal sinuses, left orbit, cavernous sinus, middle cranial fossa with abscess formation in the left middle cerebellar peduncle in a 46-year-old kidney transplant recipient with concomitant COVID-19 infection.
