Síndrome da Vasoconstricção Cerebral Reversível: Relato de caso / Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome: Case Report

Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome (SVCR) is an important differential diagnosis in patients with thunderclap headache. Its main characteristic is vasoconstriction of intracranial vessels, a dynamic process whose clinical course lasts an average of two weeks but varies in presentation and symptoms throughout the disease and usually resolves with resolution in around three months. The correct diagnosis is still a challenge and the literature lack case to understand the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of this syndrome. Thus, the objective of this work is to describe a case report of a 53-year-old female patient, whose admission was based on classical symptomatology. Aspects related to the handling and management of the case are described and detailed, showing the stages of diagnosis and evolution. This work also carried out a review of the work on the SVCR.
