different mri signs in predicting the treatment efficacy of epidural blood patch in spontaneous intracranial hypotension: a case report
abstract the current mainstay of treatment in spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih) is an epidural blood patch (ebp). although magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has a well-established role in the diagnosis of sih, imaging features regarding the treatment efficacy of ebp have rarely been discussed. we therefore sought to investigate and compare the sequential brain mri studies before and aft...
متن کاملIntracranial subdural hematoma coexisting with improvement in spontaneous intracranial hypotension after an epidural blood patch.
A 36-year-old male had spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) presenting with refractory headache for 4 months. Multiple epidural blood patches (EBPs) yielded relief of symptoms, but the course was complicated, with asymptomatic intracranial subdural hematoma (SDH). Except for SDH, other radiological diagnostic signs of SIH were resolved and the patient's headaches improved after EBP. Owing...
متن کاملEpidural Blood Patch for the Treatment of Abducens Nerve Palsy due to Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension -A Case Report-
Intracranial hypotension is characterized by a postural headache which is relieved in a supine position and worsened in a sitting or standing position. Although less commonly reported than postural headache, sixth nerve palsy has also been observed in intracranial hypotension. The epidural blood patch (EBP) has been performed for postdural puncture headache, but little is known about the proper...
متن کاملEpidural blood patch for spontaneous intracranial hypotension with chronic subdural haematoma: A case report and literature review
Spinal leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is considered to be the primary cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Subdural haematoma (SDH) is a serious complication of SIH. This current report presents a case of bilateral SDH with SIH that was treated with epidural blood patching (EBP). A 43-year-old male complained of experiencing orthostatic headaches for 2 months without neuro...
متن کاملFeasibility of placement of an anterior cervical epidural blood patch for spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
The dorsal epidural blood patch is a commonly used management technique for spontaneous intracranial hypotension from a dural CSF leak, but it may be less efficacious for cervical or ventral leaks. We report the technique of placing an anterior cervical blood patch for a large cervical ventral leak. To our best knowledge, this approach has not been reported. In the appropriately selected patien...
