Abstract

Data presented in this article are related to our article entitled "Unilateral posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: A case report" [1]. Cases of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) involving unilateral lesions are very rare. We searched the PubMed database using keywords such as PRES, unilateral, and asymmetric and found a small number of cases to include in our review. We summarized the characteristics of these reported cases of unilateral PRES, including our case.

Keywords: Brain; Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; Unilateral distribution; Vasogenic edema.
