Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Treated with a Targeted CT-Guided Epidural Blood Patch
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an important cause of new daily persistent headache. It is thought to be due to spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, which probably have a multifactorial etiology. The classic manifestation of SIH is an orthostatic headache, but other neurological symptoms may be present. An epidural blood patch is thought to be the most effective tre...
متن کاملSpontaneous intracranial hypotension with cerebrospinal fluid leakage at 2 sites treated by epidural blood patch.
PURPOSE Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a relatively uncommon cause of headache, which usually presents as orthostatic cranial pain and is relieved by recumbency. The precise cause of spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leakage related SIH remains unknown. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 32-year-old man who presented with an orthostatic headache. Brain magnetic resonance ...
متن کاملIntracranial subdural hematoma coexisting with improvement in spontaneous intracranial hypotension after an epidural blood patch.
A 36-year-old male had spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) presenting with refractory headache for 4 months. Multiple epidural blood patches (EBPs) yielded relief of symptoms, but the course was complicated, with asymptomatic intracranial subdural hematoma (SDH). Except for SDH, other radiological diagnostic signs of SIH were resolved and the patient's headaches improved after EBP. Owing...
متن کاملComa resulting from spontaneous intracranial hypotension treated with the epidural blood patch in the Trendelenburg position pre-medicated with acetazolamide.
A 62-year-old man had a new onset of severe, orthostatic headache which eventually progressed to a stupor and a coma 3 weeks later. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed bilateral chronic subdural haematoma and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed the typical findings of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). After pre-medication with acetazolamide, he was treated with thr...
متن کاملChronic subdural hematoma after spontaneous intracranial hypotension : a case treated with epidural blood patch on c1-2.
Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a recognized cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a serious but rare complication of SIH. An autologous epidural blood patch at the CSF-leak site can effectively relieve SIH. We report a case of bilateral SDH with SIH caused by a CSF leak originating at the C1-2 level. A 55-year-old male complained of ortho...
