Hemorrhagic Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Rare Neurological Complication of COVID-19 Infection

Neurological complications of COVID-19 are well documented. However, there are limited reports of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) associated with COVID-19 in the literature. Herein, we described a 21-year-old man with a history of bipolar disease and opioid addiction who was admi...
