Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders
Neurol 72:712-717, Maga�a,S.M.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Brain lesions in some patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) may be accompanied by vasogenic edema and manifest as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Water flux impairment due to aquaporin-4 autoimmunity may predispose to PRES in patients with NMOSD who experience blood pressure fluctuations or who are treated with therapies that can cause rapid fluid shifts.
