Our case was rare in that multiple phenomena of postpartum stroke occurred at the same time. What is remarkable about this case was the confirmation of the reversibility of these pathological conditions through multifaceted evaluations, including the MRI MSDE method.

Abstract Background: Headache is one of the most common symptoms that are encountered in the postpartum period. We experienced a rare case of multiple phenomena of postpartum stroke occurred at the same time. Case: A 38-year-old woman experienced sudden onset of thunderclap headache after delivery. We diagnosed cervicocephalic arterial dissection (CAD), and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) with cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage on the basis of clinical course and neuroradiological findings. Conclusion: Our case was rare in that multiple phenomena of postpartum stroke occurred at the same time. What is remarkable about this case was the confirmation of the reversibility of these pathological conditions through multifaceted evaluations, including the MRI motion-sensitized driven equilibrium 3D turbo spin echo (MSDE) sequencing method.

Background Paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumour arising anywhere along the paravertebral sympathetic and parasympathetic chains. In the neck, paraganglioma may affect the carotid body (carotid body tumour). Case report We describe a 43-year-old woman who presented with a reversible vasoconstriction syndrome associated with a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome following a surgery for a left carotid paraganglioma (with a past medical history of surgery for a right carotid paraganglioma a few months before). Conclusion A consequence of a baroreflex modification is discussed in order to explain the rare occurrence of such symptoms.
