title: Bilateral visual loss: more than meets the eye.
abstract: A 72-year-old woman presented with acute onset bilateral visual loss. She had no other symptoms or signs, but had a complex past medical history including blood transfusions and immunosuppression. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated bilateral occipital lobe vasogenic edema, consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Her vision improved with conservative management.
