Surgical history, segmental cesarean section of 39 weeks of gestation that is referred for presenting a clinical picture 24 hours after segmental cesarean section with abdominal pain, vomiting and abdominal distension, for which she undergoes surgery where relapartomies are performed for damage control. She admitted to the intensive care unit with ventilator support and without vasopressor support. Angio-resonance performed, showing, in s3DI MC sequence, the anterior cerebral arteries, middle cerebral arteries, posterior communicating arteries, anterior com-municating artery and segment P1, P2 of the bilateral posterior cerebral artery with preserved trajectory diameters identified. However, the reduction in the diameter of the cortical arteries of the bilateral poste-rior cerebral arteries segment P3 is striking. It concluded that the knowledge of PRES should be extensive and widely disseminated, so that all actors related to maternal health care identify the condition early and in a timely manner, reduce ma-ternal morbidity and mortality and long-term neurological sequelae
