Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndromes and Primary Angiitis of the Central Nervous System: Clinical, Imaging, and Angiographic Comparison

Article Abstract
Recurrent thunderclap headache (TCH), and single TCH combined with either normal neuroimaging, border zone infarcts, or vasogenic edema, have 100% positive predictive value for diagnosing RCVS or RCVS-spectrum disorders. In patients without TCH and positive angiography, neuroimaging can discriminate RCVS (no lesion) from PACNS (deep/brainstem infarcts).
