“Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome” is a reversible rare disease manifesting with a variety of neurological findings often accompanied by high blood pressures. Here we present a case of forty-nine years old male patient who was admitted to our emergency department with the complaint of having difficulty speaking his native language (Turkish) and later diagnosed with PRES Syndrome. Based on the interesting nature and rare occurrence of the case, the etiology, physical exam findings, and differential diagnosis of the disease are presented and discussed in light of the literature.

A 43-year-old male patient without any additional disease, surgery or anticoagulant use admitted to the emergency department. After evaluation with computed tomography (CT), pulmonary findings were consistent with COVID-19 pneumonia. The patient was hospitalized and enoxaparin sodium 60 mg / 0.6 ml (two subcutaneous injections per day) was initiated for prophylactic purpose. In the 16th day after admission, his hemoglobin level decreased to 7.4 g/dL. On CT scan, a right flank hematoma reaching approximately 10 cm in width, starting from the subcostal level and continuing to the inguinal canal level, was seen. Anticoagulant therapy was stopped. Erythrocyte suspension (ES), totally 10 units, were given to keep the hemoglobin level above 7 g/dL. On the 32th day after admission, the patient was discharged because his hemoglobin value, which was 10.2 g/dL at that point, had not decreased, his vital signs were stable, and his treatment for COVID-19 was completed.

A 68 year old female with Stewart Treves Syndrome was evaluated in the Emergency Department. Patient was resuscitated in the Emergency Department and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The following day, she suffered a stroke and was placed on comfort care measures after palliative care discussion with family. She died three days after admission. This article discusses Stewart Treves Syndrome, a rare form of angiosarcoma that occurs with chronic lymphedema after radical mastectomy with lymph node dissection. It presents with purplish cutaneous nodules or reddish blue macules that enlarge. The mortality rate is high and survival is low. Emergency physicians should be aware of this rare, but highly lethal, malignant syndrome. A patient with history of breast cancer and radiation therapy who presents with an enlarging red-purple plaque should be admitted or referred to oncology or plastic surgery for immediate biopsy.
