Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Associated with Oxybutynin Use; a Brief Review of Pathophysiology

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by reversible vasospasm of the central nervous system vasculature. It usually presents as a classic thunderclap headache, but complications like stroke, seizure, or intracranial hemorrhage may occur at onset. Most cases are linked temporally to secondary agents. The most common suggested mechanism underlying RCVS vascular tone dysregulation. Our report describes incidence associated with oxybutynin use in young female. We aim describe potential pathophysiology linking and RCVS.
