ABSTRACT
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.
