Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndromes (RCVS) are a group of disorders that have in common an acute presentation with headache, reversible vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries, with or without neurological signs and symptoms.

BACKGROUND Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is characterized by thunderclap headache associated with multifocal vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries in patients without aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The vasoconstriction reverts within three months. We report a 44-year-old man who had a thunderclap headache during sexual intercourse. A similar episode occurred at rest 3...
متن کاملHemorrhagic Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome
The reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is well characterized as a group of conditions typically heralded by severe thunderclap headaches (TCH) associated with reversible segmental multifocal cerebral artery vasoconstriction. Approximately one third to half develop intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), convexal subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH), ischemic stroke, and reversible brain ede...
متن کاملPostpartum angiopathy with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS): imaging in diagnosis and follow-up.
A 27-year-old previously healthy woman, nulliparae, was admitted with an acute onset of severe occipital headache, 10 days after an elective cesarean. Her medical history and laboratory were unremarkable. Postdural puncture headache was dismissed. Progressive worsening of the pain was followed by amaurosis and numbness.
