Syndrome of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia: report of six cases.
Syndrome of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia (SCH) is a rare cause of new onset headache. We report six cases of SCH presenting with new onset headache. All six cases were females. Acute onset orthostatic headache and neck pain were the chief characteristics of SCH in our cases. The MRI brain showed pachymeningeal gadolinium enhancement in all patients. Spinal extradural CSF collecti...
متن کاملDetection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage in intracranial hypotension with radionuclide cisternography and blood activity monitoring.
UNLABELLED Radionuclide cisternography is an indispensable examination to detect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in patients suspected of having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, it sometimes fails to demonstrate the site of CSF leakage, and in such cases, early bladder visualization is utilized for the diagnosis of SIH as an indirect finding. The aim of this work is to imp...
متن کاملA proposed model of cerebrospinal fluid circulation: observations with radionuclide cisternography.
PURPOSE To determine the mechanisms of the tracer distribution at radionuclide cisternography (RC). METHODS Ten patients with venous vasculitis were studied with RC. Flow phantom studies were performed mimicking cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation with and without a main outlet comparable to the pacchionian granulations. RESULTS Nine of the 10 patients had normal findings on RC images, in...

متن کاملC1–C2 cryptic cerebrospinal fluid leak directly identified by pressurized radionuclide cisternography: Case report and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic postural headaches may suffer from spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Trauma, degenerative disc spurring and connective tissue disorders are documented risk factors; in most cases there is no inciting event. Despite sophisticated means of evaluating the neuraxis, many cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are radiographically occult and treatment is focused o...
