| Core Tip |
This is the first report of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) induced by bevacizumab in China. RPLS is a rare complication of bevacizumab, but may present with life-threatening symptoms such as coma. Sudden blood pressure increase is the most common risk factor, and early recognition and prompt control of blood pressure may make this complication reversible. |
