Spontaneous intracranial hypotension with deep brain swelling.
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is caused by leakage of CSF, and characterized on MRI by brain sagging, dilatation of veins and dural sinuses, subdural fluid collections and post-contrast enhancement of the thickened dura. A few cases may present a very severe brain sagging through the tentorial notch and swelling of the diencephalic-mesencephalic structures, with absent or scarce su...

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 ...
