Abstract

We describe a patient with posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PRLS) after receiving a prescription of herbs containing licorice as a tonic medicine. The typical reversible MRI findings following the consumption of licorice suggests a possible relationship between licorice ingestion, hypertension, and PRLS, despite the fact that a cause-and-effect relationship cannot be automatically inferred.
