Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome with Transient Splenial Lesions after Delivery
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by segmental vasospasm and it is often accompanied by either posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome or stroke. However, other MRI abnormalities have rarely been reported. A 28-year-old woman presented with a thunderclap headache immediately after delivery; MRI showed segmental vasoconstriction and an abnormal signal in ...
متن کاملReversible splenial lesion syndrome in cerebral malaria.
A 71-year-old Caucasian man living in Congo was investigated by serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after having presented cerebral malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum. The clinical picture was characterized initially by coma and seizures. The patient developed multiple organ failure. There was, at 4 months follow-up only, a minimal neurological improvement consistent with minimally consci...
متن کاملUnexpected Maternal Convulsion: An Idiopathic Case of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome after Delivery
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is associated with various clinical manifestations such as headache, blurred vision, confusion and tonic-clonic convulsion. Some of the predisposing factors for PRES include hypertensive encephalopathy, preeclampsia and eclampsia, lupus erythematosus, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs. This condit...
متن کاملReversible 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 کاملReversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Presenting with Deep Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Young Women
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a group of syndromes characterized by reversible segmental constriction of cerebral arteries. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is another clinical-radiologic syndrome characterized by reversible, posterior-predominant brain edema. Although the exact causes of these reversible syndromes are poorly understood, these entiti...
