Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Influenza A infection can precipitate encephalopathy, encephalitis, or Reye syndrome with the development of cerebral edema in children and is associated with an increased incidence of stroke in adults. The mechanism of these events is poorly understood. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is seen in association with infection/sepsis, and cerebral vasculopathy has been demonstrated in PRES. We describe a case of PRES that develops in association with influenza A. SUMMARY OF CASE:A normotensive 65-year-old woman presented with altered mentation and nausea in the setting of a viral prodromal illness ultimately confirmed as influenza A. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome developed on the second day after admission. Catheter cerebral angiogram documented vasculopathy in PRES-involved regions with areas of focal vessel dilatation and string-of-bead appearance. CONCLUSIONS:The association between influenza A and PRES with documentation of cerebral vasculopathy suggests a common systemic vascular mechanism behind PRES and influenza-related encephalopathic edema and stroke.
