Conclusion
The authors suggest that RCVS cannot be ruled out in the case presented due to the lack of follow-up imaging.
Supporting Evidence
- RCVS is characterized by severe headaches and constriction of cerebral arteries.
- IH can also cause RCVS.
- Some patients can exhibit both RCVS and PRES.
Takeaway
The authors are saying that after spinal anesthesia, a patient had some serious brain issues, and they think there might be another problem that wasn't checked properly.
Limitations
The lack of follow-up imaging in the discussed cases is a limitation.
