Cerebral Vasoconstriction

Background Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by segmental vasospasm. Vasoactive agents and childbirth have been reported as precipitating factors for RCVS; however, RCVS induced by altitude change or air travel has rarely been reported. Case We present a case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with thunderclap headache during airplane descent. Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated segmental vasoconstriction that improved 9 days after onset. Conclusion These findings indicate that airplane descent may be a trigger of RCVS. The time course of headache in the present case was similar to that of prolonged headache attributed to airplane travel, indicating that RCVS during air travel may have previously been overlooked and that some headache attributed to airplane travel cases may represent a milder form of RCVS.

Cerebral Vasoconstriction

Data of 130 patients with thunderclap headache are presented. The data include clinical manifestation analysis and neuroimaging results (magnetic resonance angiography). Magnetic resonance angiography was performed 15 days after acute clinical manifestation and permitted to verify cerebral vasoconstriction, that led to treatment modification with clinical and neuroimaging signs of vasoconstriction reverse.
