Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Rev Med Chile 138:1000-1003, Rocha-Filho, P.,et al, 2010 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is characterized by thunderclap headache associated with multifocal vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries in patients without aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The vasoconstriction reverts within three months. We report a 44-year-old man who had a thunderclap headache during sexual intercourse. In conclusion, patients who have thunderclap headache with normal brain CT and cerebrospinal fluid without xantochromia should be investigated for this syndrome.
