Abstract : Complaints of headache in a patient after spinal anaesthesia usually arouses the suspicion of postdural puncture headache. Similarly, the first diagnosis which comes to our minds if there is development of seizures in a patient following caesarean section will be eclampsia. Though cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) at term are reported,[1] we tend to overlook this increasingly reported neurologic syndrome. It is gaining more and more importance as timely diagnosis and proper treatment results in complete recovery without any permanent neurological sequelae.
