Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
2014, Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRICitation Excerpt :It is noteworthy that cerebellar involvement is commonly seen (35%) in PRES associated with autoimmune conditions.18 Many other conditions have been associated with PRES including chemotherapy, typically in the setting of high-dose regimens and multidrug therapy.37-40 Additional conditions associated with PRES include, but are not limited to, medical renal disease, cocaine use, methamphetamine use, anaphylaxis, and alcohol withdrawal.17
Predisposing factors of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in acute childhood leukemia
2012, Pediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :So far, several cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome that occurred during treatment of acute leukemia have been reported. However, the literature comprises mainly case reports or small case series [10-26]. This study was designed to investigate clinical manifestations, radiographic features, predisposing factors, and long-term neurologic and radiologic outcomes of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome as a complication during the treatment of acute childhood leukemia.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in paediatric leukaemia

This is reported in 12 cases in literature as well.2,4,10,13 Vincristine (VCR)-induced autonomic dysfunction might play a role.
