Resumo: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is an encephalopathy that can be clinically characterized by headache, altered mental status and/or seizures. Neuroimaging demonstrates usually reversible bilateral subcortical vasogenic occipital-parietal edema. Exact pathophysiology remains unclear but is commonly associated with hypertension, renal failure, sepsis and use of immunosuppressive therapy. Its development in the setting of severe hypercalcemia is extremely rare. The authors report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a normotensive patient with severe hypercalcemia as the only identifiable cause.

A neuroimagem geralmente revela edema vasogénico subcortical bilateral occipito-parietal reversível. A fisiopatologia permanece por esclarecer mas frequentemente associa-se a hipertensão, insuficiência renal, sépsis e uso de terapêutica imunossupressora. O seu desenvolvimento no contexto de hipercalcémia severa é extremamente raro. Os autores apresentam um caso de síndrome de encefalopatia posterior reversível numa doente normotensa com hipercalcemia severa como etiologia mais provável.Ordem dos Médicos2018-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordapplication/mswordimage/jpeghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/9714Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 31 No. 6 (2018): June; 338-340Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 31 N.º 6 (2018): Junho; 338-3401646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/5436https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/9645https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/9646https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/9647https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/9648https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/9870https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/10085https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/9714/10122Direitos de Autor (c) 2018 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPonciano, AnaVieira, VeraLeite, JoséFernandes, Célio2022-12-20T11:05:48ZPortal AgregadorONG
