Info

Diagnostic Approach 1. Clinical Recognition (rTCH) 2. Brain Imaging (lesion patterns) 3. Angiography (‘sausage-string’) <strong>RCVS</strong>: an “instantly recognizable” condition
<strong>RCVS</strong> Treatment Options 1. Simple observation !! 2. IV fluids, pain management, laxatives 3. Avoid precipitants e.g. vasoconstrictive drugs 4. Avoid blood pressure modulation 5. Ca ++ channel blockers (nimodipine, verapamil, Mg) 6. Short course of steroids (best avoided!!) 7. Fulminant cases: balloon angioplasty, IA nicardipine
