Bilateral subdural hematomas caused by spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
Patients with both spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and subdural hematomas (SDH) are frequently undiagnosed. SIH may recur very often over a short interval or result in disastrous consequences if only the SDH is dealt with. We report a young adult with severe posterior nuchal pain; brain computed tomography showed bilateral SDH. He was discharged smoothly without any neurologic defici...
متن کاملSpontaneous bilateral subacute subdural hematoma revealing intracranial hypotension.
B subdural hematoma is one of the major complications of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. It is a rare, but serious condition resulting from tearing of bridging veins or rupture of the dilated thin-walled blood vessels in the subdural space.1 Most of these subdural hematomas can be managed with treatment directed to the underlying spinal CSF leak.2 However, surgical drainage by craniotomy ...
متن کاملSubdural haematoma: a potentially serious consequence of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is characterised by postural headache and low opening pressure at lumbar puncture without obvious cause. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging often shows small subdural collections without mass effect, dural enhancement, venous sinus dilatation, or downward displacement of the brain. The condition is thought to be benign. OBJECTIVES To evalu...
متن کاملCerebral venous sinus thrombosis caused by spontaneous intracranial hypotension
The association of spontaneous intracranial hypotension with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is rare. We report here a case of extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis involving three sinuses following spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The patient presented no other thrombotic risk factors except for spontaneous intracranial hypotension. This case adds to the evidence that spontaneous in...
