Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy due to "triple H" therapy.
Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome is a rare complication of triple H therapy, which is the treatment for symptomatic vasospasm occurring following subarachnoid hemorrhage. This complication must be considered when neurological deterioration of a patient continues or worsens during triple H therapy. We report a patient diagnosed with posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome during triple H therapy.
