This week’s grand rounds Dr. Sema Akkus PGY-2 gave a very comprehensive presentation of PRES and atypical presentations. We then had the great pleasure of learning from the expert Dr. Michelle Kaku, of Mount Sinai and the Amyloidosis Center at Boston University about Amyloidosis and associated neurologic complications
