We describe a case of 5-year-old girl who presented with seizures, loss of consciousness, and total loss of vision. Her HSP was atypical because the presenting symptoms were neurological complications rather than the characteristic rash, and her radiological features were compatible with PRES. She did not have renal impairment or hypertension. Her abnormal findings resolved following a standard course of corticosteroids.
