Abstract

We herein report two cases of patients with chronic kidney disease who developed hypertensive encephalopathy, which occurred after a sudden discontinuance of antihypertensive agents. Both patients underwent care at our hospital after experiencing neurological abnormalities. In both patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed edema in the cerebral white matter and cortices, basal ganglia, brainstem, and cerebellum. Though recently the number of reports about hypertensive encephalopathy has decreased, we describe two case reports and also review the pertinent literature.
