2 Figure 1 Diagnostic imaging category of the 54 patients who underwent neuroimaging for new neurologic symptoms. All patients underwent neuroimaging at time of presentation to the pediatric intensive care unit. Category 1 PRES was diagnosed in 21 patients. One patient was diagnosed with MRI alone; 4 were diagnosed with CT alone; 4 were diagnosed with CT and MRI; and 12 patients had normal CT, but positive MRI. In category 2, 13 patients had an alternative diagnosis other than PRES; all 13 underwent CT and MRI. In category 3, 5 patients had nonspecific findings on neuroimaging; all 5 underwent CT and MRI. In category 4, 15 patients had no acute neuroimaging findings; CT was performed in all 15 patients, 5 received both CT and MRI.

3 Figure 2 Four-year-old female with severe combined immune deficiency who developed seizures 5 days after HSCT. Axial CT images show large areas of decreased attenuation and loss of the gray-white junction in a nonvascular, watershed distribution, most consistent with PRES. No MRI was performed.

4 Figure 3 Seven-year-old male who developed seizures 68 days after HSCT. (A) Head CT examination was normal. (B) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images from a brain MRI examination performed 4 hours later demonstrates multiple cortical and subcortical foci of signal abnormality consistent with PRES.
