2613 Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome Post-SARS-CoV-2 infection

Abstract

Objectives We describe a case of delayed onset Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome (RCVS) post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, an uncommon complication of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods The participant was identified during admission for management of RCVS. The case was evaluated based on patient history, investigations (including neuroimaging) and response to treatment.

Results The participant experienced recurrent thunderclap headache one week post onset of SARS-CoV-2 infection without associated neurological deficit. Investigations including CT angiography and lumbar puncture were consistent with a diagnosis of RCVS. The participant responded well to calcium channel blocker therapy.

Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 associated RCVS may present in the subacute period following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Future studies may aim to quantify the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and RCVS.
