Postpartum reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (PPRCVS) is a rare but serious cause of headache that occurs in the early postpartum period. The rarity of this disorder has limited the current literature to single case reports and small, observational case series. The lack of familiarity with PPRCVS may contribute to mismanagement of these unique patients and lead to poor outcomes. To address current gaps in the understanding of PPRCVS, this review and data analysis characterizes the demographics, presentation, clinical course, management and prognosis of PPRCVS and provides a general review of the epidemiology, pathophysiology and diagnosis to assist clinicians who may care for patients with this rare disorder.
产后可逆性脑血管收缩综合征（PPRCVS）是产后早期发生的一种罕见但严重的头痛病因。这种疾病的罕见性使得目前的文献仅限于单病例报告和小型观察性病例系列。对PPRCVS缺乏了解可能导致对这些特殊患者的管理不当，并导致不良后果。为了填补目前对PPRCVS认识上的空白，本综述和数据分析对PPRCVS的人口统计学、表现、临床过程、管理和预后进行了描述，并对其流行病学、病理生理学和诊断进行了全面综述，以帮助可能照顾患有这种罕见疾病患者的临床医生。
