RESUMO
The reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndromes (RCVS) is a group of conditions, which is characterized by a reversible segmental constriction, typically associated with recurrent thunderclap headaches, and is often complicated by ischemia or hemorrhagic stroke. Clinical situations, associated with the development of RCVS, include pregnancy or the postpartum period, as well as various medications and illicit drugs. However, vasoconstriction syndromes remain poorly characterized, under-recognized, and difficult to diagnose, because of the lack of specific diagnostic tests or diagnostic criteria. Therefore, we present a first case of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome of pregnancy complicated with preeclampsia, diagnosed by a magnetic resonance image and angiography, which results in chronic cerebral infarction, with a brief review of the relevant literature.

Thrombosis of the dural sinus in the fetal period is an extremely rare congenital cerebrovascular condition. The exact etiologies and prognosis of dural sinus thrombosis in the fetal period are still unknown due to the extremely limited clinical information available. Therefore, we present a case of dural sinus thrombosis diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound and fetal magnetic resonance imaging that spontaneously regressed, with a brief review of the relevant literature.
