Spinal cord reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.

Abstract

We present the case of a 19-year-old woman who developed reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) with primarily posterior circulation infarcts, including a high cervical spinal cord infarct. RCVS is thought to be a transient vasospastic condition of the brain and, to our knowledge, has not been previously described to affect the spinal cord.
