The main underlying diseases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (3 cases) and nephrotic syndrome (3 cases). Eight children (80%) had hypertension, 6 (60%) had hypoalbuminemia, and 8 received glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants. The main symptoms were headache, seizures, impaired consciousness, and visual disturbances. Cranial MRI showed symmetrical long T1 and long T2 signals in bilateral posterior cerebral white matter. After comprehensive treatment including antihypertensive, anticonvulsant, and dehydration therapy, all symptoms resolved and lesions disappeared on follow-up imaging without sequelae.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pediatric PRES is an acute reversible disorder associated with hypertension and immunosuppressive therapy.
