Key Words Crohn’s disease; Sepsis; Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; Diagnosis
Core Tip We present the case of a Crohn’s disease patient who suffered posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in the setting of a troublesome post-operative course. The etiology has not been clarified, since various contributing factors existed, however sepsis represents the predominant reason. The patient was diagnosed early, since neurological consult was seeked immediately, and after prompt management, he fully recovered without neurological deficits. Our goal is to stress out the importance of clinical suspicion in such cases, as the post-operative course in a Crohn’s disease patient can often be perplexed and challenging.
