Alcohol-related posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: a case report of a patient managed with a benzodiazepine-sparing regimen for alcohol withdrawal.
We report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) during treatment for alcohol withdrawal syndrome with gabapentin and clonidine. The patient developed severe hypertension, confusion and tremor, culminating in bilateral vision loss and a seizure. Imaging revealed posterior cerebral edema. Treatment with benzodiazepines, antihypertensives, and anti-seizure medications led to resolution. One year later, imaging showed resolution of the findings. We review the associated literature and propose the recognition of a PRES sub-entity, Alcohol-Related PRES (ARPRES), which can appear in the setting of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, chronic alcohol use, and acute alcohol intoxication, with or without hypertension.
期刊介绍:
Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
