Postsurgical intracranial hypotension: diagnostic and prognostic imaging findings.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CSF loss with consecutive intracranial hypotension has been discussed as a possible pathogenetic mechanism in poor clinical outcome after uneventful neurosurgery and appears to be correlated to specific imaging findings. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and imaging findings of symptomatic intracranial hypotension likely induced by wound suction drain...
متن کاملCerebral angiographic findings of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
We report a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension that underwent cerebral angiography. The angiogram showed prominence of the veins and venous phase of the angiogram. This is thought to be secondary to decreased intracranial pressure and subsequent dilation of the venous system to attempt to replace the lost intracranial CSF volume. In situations in which the typical clinical presentatio...
متن کاملSpontaneous intracranial hypotension: spinal MR findings.
We report three patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension in whom spinal MR imaging revealed ventral extradural fluid collections that were centered at the cervicothoracic junction in two patients and extended throughout the entire spine in the third patient. These spinal fluid collections most likely resulted from the accumulation of CSF at the site of dural leakage. Knowledge of this...

متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging findings before and after treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
The syndrome of spontaneous intracranial hypotension is characterised by postural headache, low CSF pressure, and MRI findings of diVuse pachymeningeal gadolinium enhancement without a history of head or back trauma or lumbar puncture. We report on the MRI findings of a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension, before and after treatment. A 44 year old woman presented with severe subac...
