Phenotypical variability of post-partum reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome

Our series of four cases illustrates its phenotypical variability, summarizes the diagnostic work-up, and outlines potential treatment strategies for this usually benign but sometimes disabling and life-threatening disease.
