Abstract
A patient with hypertensive crisis developed encephalopathy with a lum bar puncture revealing neutrophilic pleocytosis. No explanation for he r case could be found, eg, no evidence of infection or vasculitis. It is concluded that the most probable cause of her neutrophilic cerebros pinal fluid pleocytosis is hypertensive encephalopathy.
