Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage; Which Occurs First? Key words: reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, subarachnoid hemorrhage, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
To the Editor Noda and colleagues described a case with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), as well as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and cerebral infarction (1). The case is interesting; however, we would argue against their hypothesized scenario with regard to the pathogenic course of the disease. In this case, SAH, loca...
متن کاملProgressive Manifestations of Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Presenting with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, and Cerebral Infarction
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by sudden-onset headache with focal neurologic deficit and prolonged but reversible multifocal narrowing of the distal cerebral arteries. Stroke, either hemorrhagic or ischemic, is a relatively frequent presentation in RCVS, but progressive manifestations of subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarcti...
متن کاملDifferentiating reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome with subarachnoid hemorrhage from other causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
IMPORTANCE Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a clinical-angiographic syndrome characterized by recurrent thunderclap headaches and reversible segmental multifocal cerebral artery narrowing. More than 30% of patients with RCVS develop subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Patients with RCVS with SAH (RCVS-SAH) are often misdiagnosed as having potentially ominous conditions such as...
متن کاملReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is an under-recognised condition. It is characterised by sudden and severe headaches (of "thunderclap" type) associated with multifocal reversible narrowing of the intracranial arteries on neuroradiology. The diagnosis is often established with the resolution of headaches and vasoconstriction. We report two patients with RCVS and review the a...
متن کاملReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.
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. In contrast to primary central nervous system vasculitis, they have a relatively benign course. We describe here a patient who was diagnosed with RCVS.
