Does renal artery stenosis precipitate hyponatremic hypertensive syndrome and posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy?
We report a case of malignant hypertension in a 19-month-old male secondary to renal artery stenosis with associated HHS and PRES. Prognosis of PRES in children with renal disease is excellent. Prompt intervention may offer near complete resolution of physiologic and symptomatic effects of HHS and PRES due to high-grade renal artery stenosis. This report was written with parental consent for de-identified case presentation and radiographs for the educational benefit of other medical professionals.
