Abnormal spinal fluid in hypertensive encephalopathy

South Dakota Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A 44-year-old white male presented with marked hypertension and encephalopathy. His spinal fluid showed a neutrophilic pleocytosis in the absence of infection. While cases of hypertensive encephalopathy with concomitant minor lymphocytic pleocytosis have been occasionally described, it is distinctly abnormal to have a neutrophilic pleocytosis in this setting.
