Imaging Findings of Intracranial Hypotension Presented with Pseudo-Subarachnoidal Hemorrhage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a condition in which the fluid pressure inside skull lower than normal. It secondary to cerebrospinal (CSF) leak at level of spine and resulting loss CSF volume. Pseudo-subarachnoidal hemorrhage rare that can occur patients with spontaneous hypotension. The diagnosis very important because it be confused true subarachnoidal hemorrhage. True one complications may SIH patients. differentiation these two conditions as well computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings response blood-patch treatment applied by interventional radiology also valuable.

We present a case of a 28-year-old woman with a cerebellopontine angle and prepontine cistern epidermoid cyst with unusual signal intensity. She presented with cranial nerve neuropathy and unsteady gait. MR imaging showed a tumor mass with central area of hemorrhage and a focal area of heterogeneous signal intensity with spotty enhancement, which correlated histologically to old blood in a cyst...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CSF loss with consecutive intracranial hypotension has been discussed as a possible pathogenetic mechanism in poor clinical outcome after uneventful neurosurgery and appears to be correlated to specific imaging findings. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and imaging findings of symptomatic intracranial hypotension likely induced by wound suction drain...
متن کاملCerebral angiographic findings of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
We report a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension that underwent cerebral angiography. The angiogram showed prominence of the veins and venous phase of the angiogram. This is thought to be secondary to decreased intracranial pressure and subsequent dilation of the venous system to attempt to replace the lost intracranial CSF volume. In situations in which the typical clinical presentatio...
متن کاملImaging of Intracranial Hemorrhage
Intracranial hemorrhage is common and is caused by diverse pathology, including trauma, hypertension, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hemorrhagic conversion of ischemic infarction, cerebral aneurysms, cerebral arteriovenous malformations, dural arteriovenous fistula, vasculitis, and venous sinus thrombosis, among other causes. Neuroimaging is essential for the treating physician to identify the ca...
متن کاملSpontaneous intracranial hypotension: spinal MR findings.
We report three patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension in whom spinal MR imaging revealed ventral extradural fluid collections that were centered at the cervicothoracic junction in two patients and extended throughout the entire spine in the third patient. These spinal fluid collections most likely resulted from the accumulation of CSF at the site of dural leakage. Knowledge of this...
