The Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiological entity involving varying degrees of neurological symptoms to neurological abnormalities in parietal-occipital white matter. We report a case of reversible encephalopathy of late posterior postpartum encephalopathy as an association with acute pulmonary edema, in a young woman without any significant medical history. The physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment were discussed.
