Context: The Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome (SVCR) is characterized by rapid and reversible vasoconstriction and segmental dilation of cerebral arteries, usually preceded by thunderclap headache. The involvement of second and third-order branches of the cerebral arteries is the most commom finding in a cerebral angiography. This report is about a SVCR case with atypical involvement, significantly compromising extracranial vessels and raising the hypothesis of association between the use of hormonal blocker gosserelin acetate (ZoladexTM) with SVCR. Case report: Female, 39 years old, with breast cancer and bone metastasis using ZoladexTM that presented with a sudden headache and vomiting, progressing to global afasia and paresis in the right upper limb. Magnetic resonance identified hyperacute intraparenchymal hematoma in left frontoparietal convexity and subarachnoid haemorrhage. Cerebral angiography showed irregularities in the distal branches (M3 and M4) of the middle cerebral arteries, as well as in the superficial temporal artery, characterized by focal strictures. Conclusion: Studies show that hormonal fluctuations in the postpartum period can trigger SVCR due to the drop in estrogen and progesterone (gonadotropins). During postpartum, the stimulus of breastfeeding increases prolactin levels leading to GnRH suppression, which decreases the level of gonadotropins. ZoladexTM is a GnRH analogue and its chronic administration results in suppression of these hormones - similar to the postpartum period. Therefore, there may be an association of hormonal blockers with SVCR.

Context: Diethylene glycol (DEG) is an alcohol used as industrial antifreeze. Poisoning is usually accidental and involves contamination of food and beverage. We report two cases of DEG poisoning (DEGP) resulting from ingestion of beer in 2020. Case report: ACMO, male, 57 year-old, admitted with bilateral visual turbidity complaint. Laboratory showed renal dysfunction (Cr 11 mg/dl, Ur 202 mg/dl), increased anion GAP (AG) and metabolic acidosis. He evolved with amaurosis, facial diplegia, tetraparesis and areflexia. He was discharged after prolonged hospitalization with severe motor impairment, bilateral amaurosis and under dialysis therapy. RJB, 75 year-old alcoholic male patient, reported 600 ml/day ingestion of high-risk beer in the month preceding his hospitalization. He was admitted with nausea, abdominal pain, renal failure (Cr 11 mg/dl, Ur 177 mg/dl), metabolic acidosis and AG 21. He developed bilateral papilla edema, flaccid tetraparesis, areflexia, dysautonomy, respiratory failure and death. Conclusions: DEG metabolites primarily target kidneys and nervous system. Patients shortly develop nephroneural syndrome characterized by acute oligoanuric renal injury with metabolic acidosis and increased AG, associated with peripheral polyneuropathy with involvement of cranial nerves, in addition to optic neuropathy. Due to the poorly available serum dosage, rapid recognition of DEGP is essential to institute early treatment and identification of the source of the intoxication in order to prevent mass poisoning.
