Management of Psychiatric Diagnoses in Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome: The Dangers of Worsening Pathology with Serotonergic Medications: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) represents a group of conditions that show reversible multifocal narrowing or constriction of the cerebral arteries that supply blood to the brain. The initial manifestation of RCVS often includes a "thunderclap" headache that is sudden, severe, and often disabling. Stimulants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and antipsychotics with serotonergic activity can alter the cerebral arterial tone, trigger vasoconstriction, and place patients at risk of a cerebrovascular accident. Thus, psychiatric medications are commonly discontinued on admission for RCVS, and psychiatry is often consulted for input on acute medication management and longitudinal treatment options. Currently, there is a dearth of literature on managing psychiatric medications in RCVS, resulting in variable practice patterns that place patients at risk of withdrawal, decompensation, and relapse. In this article, we provide a case example and aim to consolidate the limited data surrounding the management of psychiatric illness with comorbid RCVS in our discussion. There is a clear concern about worsening and even potentially lethal consequences due to serotonin or stimulant-induced vasospasm both during an acute episode and in long-term management of RCVS. We discuss the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms proposed for serotonergic-, noradrenergic-, and dopaminergic-induced cerebral vasospasm and how this correlates with the clinical management of patients on psychiatric medications. These data will then be organized to create a risks versus benefits outline to equip psychiatrists to make decisions about when to stop and when to restart psychiatric medications in the setting of RCVS.
