Resumo

We describe a patient presenting with a first generalized convulsion after alcohol consumption, in whom the early postictal finding of a rapidly regressive cortical visual impairment suggested the presence of a posterior reversible encephalopathy. This was confirmed radiologically, and probably represented the key factor in the seizure etiology.
