Abstract
SUMMARY: The case report of a patient with hypertensive encephalopathy is presented here. The findings of reversible bilateral thalamic changes on T2‐weighted MR imaging is an atypical manifestation of the reversible posterior leucoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS), which is the neuroradiological correlate of hypertensive encephalopathy. The importance of prompt and accurate diagnosis of hypertensive encephalopathy / RPLS is stressed.Keywords
