Vasoconstriction is not recognized as a cause of cerebrovascular disease except in the vasospasm seen following subarachnoid hemorrhage and possibly in migraine. However, we found four patients to have transient, fully reversible vasoconstriction and dilatation prominently involving arteries around the circle of Willis. All four patients were evaluated for severe headaches and fluctuating or re...

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...
