Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinic-radiological diagnosis characterized by seizures, headaches, lethargy, confusion, visual disturbances, and transient magnetic resonance imaging changes in the posterior circulation distribution. Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare but serious systemic autoimmune myopathy.
