Abstract
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterised
by severe thunderclap headaches (with or without the presence of acute
neurological symptoms) and segmental vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries that
resolves spontaneously in a period of three months. Cases have been described
in the literature with producing and non-producing masses of metanephrines.
Within these reports, associations with cavernous haemangioma, medulloblastoma,
colon cancer, paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, uterine fibroids, among others
were found. However, no association with adrenal masses which do not produce
metanephrines was found. In this context, we reported the case of a woman with
this type of tumour associated with RCVS which provided a treatment challenge, as
well as we reviewed the literature on cases of RCVS associated with masses.
