Abstract

In patients with thunderclap headaches, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) should be considered as a differential diagnosis. However, RCVS diagnosis in the emergency department (ED) remains challenging. This report describes the clinical features and factors related to RCVS diagnosis and suggests diagnostic strategies for its management.
