Résumé
Reversible vasoconstriction (RV) may cause ischaemic stroke (IS) in the absence of any other defined stroke aetiology. The three objectives of our study were to evaluate the frequency of RV in a prospective series of young IS patients, to describe the detailed clinical-radiological features in the patients with RV and IS, and to compare these characteristics with those of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS).
