We describe the case of a 40-year-old man with spontaneous intracranial hypotension who presented with cervical radiculopathy associated with epidural venous engorgement. Epidural venous engorgement can occur secondary to intracranial hypotension and manifests intracranially as pachymeningeal venous engorgement. In the cervical spine, two cases of epidural venous engorgement due to intracranial...

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a clinical entity characterized by orthostatic headache, low CSF pressure and specific cranial imaging techniques. Headache can be accompanied by the symptoms such as tinnitus, vertigo, diplopia, nausea and vomiting. It is important for the diagnosis to show the level of CSF leakage. Epidural blood patch should be planned for the treatment of patients wit...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Optimal diagnosis and management of spontaneous intracranial hypotension remains uncertain. CT-guided blood patching has been described but has not been evaluated in larger case series. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of CT-guided blood patching of observed or potential CSF leaks in spontaneous intracranial hypotension. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients referred for eva...
