Abstract
- We report a patient who developed posterior leukoencephalopatty (PLE) after a transfusion with vasospasm and both features of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema. The cytotoxic edema developed in the cerebral region hemodynamically more compromised. Different mechanisms may occur in PLE according to the degree of ischemic burden related to vasospasm.
