摘要：

Three children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia developed altered mental status, headaches, seizures, and visual changes associated with reversible posterior cerebral changes on MRI. These clinical and radiologic findings were consistent with the reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome, which has not been widely recognized in this setting.
