Different Clinicoradiological Characteristics of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in Pediatric Oncology and Post-Bone Marrow Transplantation Cases: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is receiving increasing recognition in pediatrics. However, comparisons between PRES in pediatric oncology and post-bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to describe the risk factors and clinical and radiological features of PRES and investigate the differences between PRES in pediatric oncology and post-BMT. The PRES data of 13 patients from our center were combined with those of 217 cases from the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The patients were divided into either an oncology or a post-BMT group. We included 230 patients in the analysis, 26.1% of whom belonged to the post-BMT group. Oncology patients developed PRES at a younger age (p = 0.010) and were more likely to develop encephalop
