Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a very infrequent disease characterized by alteration in mental status, which may lead to seizures and deficits. Here we describe a 42-year-old female with seizures after transfusion for chronic anemia. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed edema in occipital regions consistent with the clinical finding. Many immunological and nonimmunological complications are present after blood transfusion, but PRES is rare and preventable.
