Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by a group of central nervous system related symptoms. Diagnosis is usually made by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Common causes can be arterial hypertension, sepsis, autoimmune disorders, and medications. We report PRES in a relapsed Hodgkin’s Lymphoma patient after a dose of pembrolizumab.
