Acute Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome

Acute Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (ARES) is a temporary brain condition that can cause confusion, seizures, or changes in consciousness. It occurs when the brain is stressed, usually due to factors like high blood pressure, infections, or metabolic imbalances. Symptoms can resolve quickly once the underlying cause is treated, but prompt medical attention is essential. ARES highlights the brain's vulnerability to sudden changes in its environment, and with proper care, most individuals can fully recover their normal brain function.
