To our knowledge, among neurological disorders associated with SARS-CoV2 infection, no Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) has been described yet. Herein, we report a case of a 64-year old woman with COVID19 infection who developed a PRES, and we suggest that it could be explained by the disruption of the blood brain barrier induced by the cerebrovascular endothelial dysfunction caused by SARS-CoV-2.

最近，世卫组织宣布2019年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）爆发大流行。急性呼吸综合征似乎是COVID-19的最常见表现。除肺炎外，已证明SARS-CoV-2感染会影响包括大脑组织在内的多个器官，引起不同的神经系统表现，尤其是急性脑血管疾病（缺血性和出血性中风），意识障碍和骨骼肌损伤。据我们所知，在与SARS-CoV2感染相关的神经系统疾病中，尚未描述后可逆性脑病综合征（PRES）。在此，我们报告了一例64岁的COVID19感染女性，该女性发生了PRES，
