국문 초록

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a clinical radiographic phenomenon characterized by thunderclap headaches and transient vasoconstriction of cerebral vessels, which typically resolve within 3 months of symptom onset. Although RCVS has been extensively studied in adults, research on this condition in pediatric populations is limited, likely due to its perceived rarity. This comprehensive review aims to bridge the knowledge gap by examining the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and prognostic outcomes of pediatric RCVS cases, including two case reports contributed by the authors. This study demonstrates an inconclusive sex distribution of RCVS in children, attributed to the scarcity of comprehensive studies of this demographic. Additionally, we identified several predictors of adverse neurological outcomes in children with RCVS, including motor deficits, aphasia, hypertension, and renal disease. This study offers a thorough overview of RCVS in the pediatric population, providing valuable insights to inform future research in this area.
