Core Tip
Core Tip: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is often associated with hypertension and eclampsia. Here, we report a case of postpartum PRES secondary to preeclampsia and intracranial hypotension caused by dural puncture and cerebrospinal fluid leakage. This case highlights the risk of PRES in laboring women with intracranial hypotension secondary to cerebrospinal fluid leakage and hypertension caused by intraspinal anesthesia.
