We present the case of a 33 year old female presenting with acute neurological signs including right sided neglect and confusion four days postpartum. The original non-contrast CT brain demonstrated an acute left temporal intraparenchymal hemorrhage. A cerebral catheter angiogram was performed and demonstrated the typical appearances of RCVS (Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome).
