A 37-year-old woman presented with acute orthostatic hypotension and diffuse headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed T2 hyperintense bilateral subdural effusions, diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement, slit ventricles and venous engorgement compatible with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (CT) and CT-cistern...

Camptocormia is defined as an abnormal flexion of the thoracolumbar spine that appears while standing or walking. It is associated with several clinical situations such as parkinsonism, dystonia, and neuromuscular disorders. We present the case of a 33-year-old man who had marked camptocormia with acute onset (video on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). The patient also had a 2-day hist...

Intracranial hypotension is characterized by a postural headache which is relieved in a supine position and worsened in a sitting or standing position. Although less commonly reported than postural headache, sixth nerve palsy has also been observed in intracranial hypotension. The epidural blood patch (EBP) has been performed for postdural puncture headache, but little is known about the proper...

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...
