PRES in a patient with COVID-19.

Brain MRI images in a 61-year-old female with COVID-19 and respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilations. Axial T2/FLAIR images (A and B) demonstrate T2/FLAIR hyperintensities predominately with the bilateral parietooccipital regions. Foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensities were also present with the bilateral cerebellum. Imaging findings were consistent with PRES. A follow-up Brain MRI exam (C and D) approximately 3 weeks later demonstrated resolution of the parenchymal abnormalities. There was no evidence of restricted diffusion or hemorrhagic foci on the first Brain MRI exam.
