A case report of acute intermittent porphyria presenting with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
RCVS may occur in AIP patients, which is featured with abdominal pain, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and stenosis in multiple intracranial vasculatures. Urine porphobilinogen sun exposure test, brain MRI, and genetic examination can aid in a definitive diagnosis. A high glucose diet, heme arginine, and symptomatic treatment are effective in treating AIP presenting with RCVS.
