Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES)following systemic treatment with cyclosporine. Case:A 6-year-old girl developed fever and pain in the throat. She was given systemic cyclosporine under the diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 3 weeks after onset. She developed convulsions 8 days later. Electroencephalogram showed signs of epilepsy. MRI led to the diagnosis of PRES and discontinuation of cyclosporine. Visual acuity decreased to hand motion in either eye the next day. She was referred to us 9 weeks later. Findings:Best-corrected visual acuity was hand motion in either eye. Ophthalmological findings, including light reflex, were within normal limits. Encephalogram and MRI showed normal findings. Visual acuity improved to 0.5 in either eye 3 months later and to 1.0 one year later. Conclusion:Impaired visual acuity lasted for almost one year in the present case of PRES. Psychogenic factors may have been involved.
