Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks and intracranial hypotension.
CONTEXT Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is caused by spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and is known for causing orthostatic headaches. It is an important cause of new headaches in young and middle-aged individuals, but initial misdiagnosis is common. OBJECTIVE To summarize existing evidence regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of spontan...
متن کاملIntracranial hypotension secondary to spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
A 37-year-old woman presented with acute orthostatic hypotension and diffuse headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed T2 hyperintense bilateral subdural effusions, diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement, slit ventricles and venous engorgement compatible with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (CT) and CT-cistern...
متن کاملLocalization of cerebrospinal fluid leak in a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension using dynamic computed tomography myelography.
388 August 2014 E blood patch is the mainstay of treatment for persistent symptoms secondary to spontaneous intracranial hypotension.1 Determining the level of cerebrospinal fluid leak is thought to be an important consideration for optimal siting of the epidural blood patch injection.2 However, it is often difficult to determine the level of cerebrospinal fluid leak in spontaneous intracranial...
متن کاملIntracranial leukaemia and the cerebrospinal fluid.
With the prolongation of survival in patients with acute leukaemia the incidence of central nervous system involvement has shown a coincidental increase (Evans et al., 1970). Its actual frequency, however, remains difficult to estimate, for symptoms and signs may be minimal and meningeal leukaemia often occurs during bone marrow remission. Reports on patients with acute leukaemia and signs of r...
متن کاملIntracranial hypotension.
The authors present the case of a 55-year-old man suffering from intractable spontaneous intracranial hypotension, in whom conservative treatment with 19 weeks of bed rest was not effective. In this period the patient twice underwent surgery for bilateral chronic subdural hematoma, a complication of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Conventional radionuclide cisternography, magnetic resonan...
