  • Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by sudden-onset headache with focal neurologic deficit and prolonged but reversible multifocal narrowing of the distal cerebral arteries. Stroke, either hemorrhagic or ischemic, is a relatively frequent presentation in RCVS, but progressive manifestations of subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction in a patient is seldom described. We report a rare case of a 56-year-old woman with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome consecutively presenting as cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction. When she complained of severe headache with subtle cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage, her angiography was non-specific. But, computed tomographic angiography showed typical angiographic features of this syndrome after four days. Day 12, she suffered mental deterioration and hemiplegia due to contralateral intracerebral hematoma, and she was surgically treated. For recurrent attacks of headache, medical management with calcium channel blockers has been instituted. Normalized angiographic features were documented after 8 weeks. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome should be considered as differential diagnosis of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and repeated angiography is recommended for the diagnosis of this under-recognized syndrome.

  • Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) are relatively uncommon neurological disorders. These two independent syndromes can be concurrent as a part of a continuum process; however, the specific mechanism is not well known. Although the relationship between RCVS and PRES is currently unclear, they could share a common pathophysiology. This case report aimed to determine the pathophysiology underlying the co-occurrence of PRES and RCVS in a patient with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

  • 가역성 대뇌 혈관 수축 증후군(reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome)은 벼락두통과 함께 3개월 안에 소실되는 뇌혈관의 다발성 협착을 특징으로 하는 임상적 영상의학적 증후군이다. 해당 환자 중 일부에서 혈관 벽 조영증강이 보고되고 있으나 그 병태생리학적 의미와 진단적 가치는 불분명하다. 이에 혈관 벽 조영증강을 동반한 가역성 대뇌 혈관 수축 증후군의 증례를 보고하고 병태생리학적 의미와 진단적 가치를 고찰하고자 한다.

  • 가역적 뇌혈관 수축 증후군은 허혈성 뇌졸중을 야기할 수 있으며 다양한 질환이 원인이 된다. 하지만 빈혈과 가역적 뇌혈관 수축 증후군의 연관성을 나타내는 사례 보고는 거의 없다. 이에 저자들은 보존적 치료로 호전된 66세 여성의 허혈성 뇌졸중과 뇌혈관 수축을 동반한 중증 철결핍빈혈의 사례를 보고하고자 한다. 고해상도 혈관벽 자기공명영상 소견 및 뇌혈관 협착의 가역성을 토대로 가역적 뇌혈관 수축 증후군을 진단할 수 있었다. 가역적 뇌혈관 수축 증후군 및 허혈성 뇌졸중을 가진 환자에서 철결핍빈혈은 하나의 원인으로 고려되어야 하며 즉각적인 처치를 통해 질병의 진행 및 재발을 방지해야 한다.
