| Core Tip |
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) has been described in a number of settings, but not in the setting of severe alcoholic hepatitis, as is presented in this case report. There are clear molecular relationships between ammonia, which is detoxified to glutamine in the brain, causing astrocytic swelling, cerebral edema, and vasogenic edema. This vasogenic edema is a pivotal component of PRES and accounts for one of the major hypotheses of the syndrome. Thus, though a clear connection between hyperammonemia and PRES has never been documented, there is a theoretical relationship. |
