Abstract

Abstract: This is a case report in which a patient with SLE had a brainstem variant of PRES, and MRI demonstrated atypical distribution of FLAIR hyperintensity in the thalami and the midbrain sparing the red nuclei bilaterally (Figure 1). This impressive lesion pattern may reveal the disease mechanisms of PRES in patients with SLE.
