Abstract
Reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinic-radiologic syndrome characterized by headache, altered mental status, visual and motor symptoms and radiological lesions documented on brain MRI. PRES is characterized by a complete reversibility and is probably the expression of a vasogenic oedema. The paper de-scribes a case of a 16-year-old boy affected by Fanconi’s anaemia who underwent allogenic bone marrow trans-plantation.
