ABSTRACT
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare and understudied transfusion reaction most commonly seen in adult females after correction of chronic, severe anemia. Transfusion-associated RCVS (TA-RCVS) typically presents with thunderclap headaches and one or more systemic (hypertension, nausea/vomiting) or neurologic (seizure, stroke, visual changes) symptoms within a week after red blood cell transfusion. Treatment of RCVS is based on blood pressure control; a recent study suggested that early use of nimodipine could shorten the disease course.
