Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is an increasingly recognised clinico-radiological entity, associated with several medical conditions (such as systemic arterial hypertension) and characterised by seizures, altered mental status, headaches, and visual symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging is a key component in this diagnosis, with hyperintense foci in T2-weighted images, corresponding to vasogenic oe...

Alcohol (ethanol) promotes inflammatory processes, increases DNA damage, and creates oxidative stress. In addition, the accompanying thiamine deficiency may lead to Wernicke encephalopathy. Associated changes in serum osmolarity may lead to acute demyelination. CONCLUSION: Alcohol-related encephalo...
