Abstrakt: Arterial vasospasm is a well known cause of ischemia and, if prolonged, of parenchymal infarction. The clinical presentation varies according to the involved arterial district. We describe a rare case, which occurred in a young lady, of recurrent and multisystem vasospasm, resulting in multiple cerebral and myocardial infarctions. Our patient was resistant to medical therapy, requiring stent implantation of the involved vessels.
