چکیده
In our patient with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) syndrome, presenting with thunderclap-like headache, there is a possibility to be readily confused with migraine. Initiating treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and triptans can further aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is essential to understand the nature and type of headache and correlate the clinical findings with imaging studies.
