Abstract：Amid the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,there has been an observed escalation in the incidence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES).A systematic search was conducted using computerized databases including Pubmed,CNKI,and Wanfang Database from their inception to June 2022.A total of 45 cases of COVID-19 with PRES were identified,all excluding other risk factors for PRES.Our comprehensive analysis revealed that individuals with COVID-19 and PRES may be more susceptible to cerebral hemorrhage complications compared to those with pure PRES.Furthermore,the risk of cerebral hemorrhage in patients with COVID-19 and PRES appears to be associated with the severity of their COVID-19 condition.Additionally,hypoxia may serve as a precipitating factor for PRES.
