Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated with Oral Phenylephrine Use: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Conclusions: It is scientifically plausible that phenylephrine may cause strokes, consistent with the pharmacologic properties and adverse event profiles of similar amphetamine-like sympathomimetics. As RCVS has been well described in association with over-the-counter sympathomimetics, a likely, although not definitive, causal relationship between phenylephrine and ICH is proposed.

Evaluation of Misdiagnosed Cases of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Causal Factors for Misdiagnosis
Conclusions: Type 1 cases were mild, and diagnosis required detailed medical history analyses. Type 2 cases were severe and were diagnosed based on electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes characteristic of SAH. Symptoms of type 3 cases included vomiting, and diagnosis required recognition of meningeal irritation syndrome and detailed medical history analyses.
