Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Plus Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report Study
This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...
متن کاملIntracranial hypotension causing reversible frontotemporal dementia and coma.
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) was first described over 60 years ago by Schaltenbrand and termed “aliquorrhea”1. In 1997, this syndrome was defined by a classical triad of postural headaches, low cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure and imaging abnormalities2. More recent evidence has redefined this concept and our understanding of the pathological mechanism, as well as the variable...
متن کاملSpontaneous intracranial hypotension due to thoracic disc herniation. Case report.
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is frequently idiopathic. The authors report on a patient presenting with symptomatic intracranial hypotension caused by a transdural calcified thoracic disc herniation. Cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed classic signs of intracranial hypotension, and a combination of spinal MR and computerized tomography myelography confirmed a mid-thoracic tr...

T1-weighted MRI with gadolinium enhancement showed diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement (figu...
متن کاملSpontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Presenting as a "Pseudo-Chiari 1
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is classified as a decrease in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure secondary to a CSF leakage and consequent descent of the brain into the foramen magnum. Diagnosing SIH can be difficult due to its overlapping findings with Arnold-Chiari type 1 Malformation (CM1) where the cerebellar tonsils herniate into the foramen magnum. The similarity of both condi...
