Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a rare neurologic disorder, manifests as headache, altered mental status, seizures, visual disturbances, and other focal neurologic signs with typically reversible clinical symptoms and image changes. Although the underlying mechanism remains unknown, a current theory indicates cerebral autoregulation failure as the primary cause. We report a case of PRES with stroke in an adult with intrauterine fetal death (IUFD).
