Neurol Int. 2010 Nov 26;2(2):e16. doi: 10.4081/ni.2010.e16.

Abstract

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is recognized increasingly as a complication of the postpartum period. Our series of four cases illustrates its phenotypical variability, summarizes the diagnostic work-up, and outlines potential treatment strategies for this usually benign but sometimes disabling and life-threatening disease.
