Diffuse Cerebral Vasoconstriction (Call-Fleming Syndrome) and Stroke Associated with Antidepressants
Neurol 67:159-160, Noskin,O.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Call-Fleming syndrome is a reversible segmental vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries manifested by a thunderclap headache and focal neurologic symptoms. Although of unknown etiology, it has been reported in association with vasoactive sympathomimetic drugs. The authors report Call-Fleming syndrome in two patients with history of antidepressant use. Although the association is hypothetical, the authors suggest consideration of Call-Fleming syndrome in patients presenting with headache, focal deficits, and evidence of cerebral ischemia during antidepressant use.
