Postpartum Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Presenting with Radiological Plethora

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a clinicoradiological syndrome characterized by segmental vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries with resolution in most patients within 1 to 3 months. It has been known to be a benign uniphasic reversible illness but cases of fulminant RCVS wit...
