Reversible 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.
متن کاملReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.
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 کاملReversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome, Part 2: Diagnostic Work-Up, Imaging Evaluation, and Differential Diagnosis.
The diagnostic evaluation of a patient with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome integrates clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings. Imaging plays an important role by confirming the presence of cerebral vasoconstriction; monitoring potential complications such as ischemic stroke; and suggesting alternative diagnoses, including CNS vasculitis and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhag...
