Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension : Recommendations for Management
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a syndrome in which a cerebrospinal fluid leak occurs within the spinal axis, and may lead to a constellation of neurological symptoms. A postural or orthostatic headache is the most common of these symptoms1. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension was first recognized by Georg Schaltenbrand in the 1930s. Many terms have been used to describe the cond...

A literature search found no clinical trials or guidelines addressing the management of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Based on the available literature and expert opinion, we have developed recommendations for the diagnosis and management of SIH. For typical cases, we recommend brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with gadolinium to confirm the diagnosis, and conservative measure...

متن کاملSpontaneous intracranial hypotension.
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an increasingly recognised syndrome. Postural headache with typical findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the key to diagnosis. Orthostatic headache, low cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure, and diffuse meningeal enhancement on post-contrast T1-weighted MRI brain studies are the major features of this increasingly recognised syndrome. He...
متن کاملSpontaneous intracranial hypotension.
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rare benign and usually self-limited condition of unknown aetiology. Four cases are presented that illustrate how the MRI features may support a diagnosis suggested on clinical grounds. The MRI findings include diffuse symmetric smooth dural thickening and enhancement, not only at the cranial level, but also involving the cervical spinal dura, subdural ...
