The time from the initiation of the chemotherapy to the onset of PRES ranged from 7-675 days. Hypertension was detected in nine patients, seizure was the most common presenting symptom - had involvement in the occipital and parietal lobes on MRI (n=14)/followed by headache (n=8)/altered consciousness (n=5)/visual impairment (n=4). Hydrocephalus and tentorial herniation were observed in one patient. Most of the lesions on MRI resolved within 10-33 days and the EEG findings within 9 months.
