title: First reported case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome occurring in a weightlifter.

Here we report on the first known published case of PRES in a weightlifter. We present a 34-year-old man with acute onset visual disturbance and expressive dysphasia which occurred after an intensive gym session.
