Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) Following Soccer Game: Potential Role of MRI in the Treatment Response.

چکیده
It was with great interest that we read the paper by Girgis et al. (3) and the related papers regarding spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) in Turkish Neurosurgery. SIH is characterized with orthostatic headache, diffuse dural enhancement on MRI and low cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the absence of trauma history or lumbar puncture (3). Herein, we aimed to share our experience in a man diagnosed with SIH following soccer game managed with epidural blood patch (EBP) and underline potential role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the treatment response with demonstrative images.

Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Plus Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report Study
This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...
متن کاملDifferent MRI Signs in Predicting the Treatment Efficacy of Epidural Blood Patch in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: A Case Report
The current mainstay of treatment in spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an epidural blood patch (EBP). Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a well-established role in the diagnosis of SIH, imaging features regarding the treatment efficacy of EBP have rarely been discussed. We therefore sought to investigate and compare the sequential brain MRI studies before and after EBP by...
متن کاملPseudoarachnoiditis in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
The most common causes of intracranial hypotension include persistent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from lumbar puncture, spontaneous CSF leakage, or excessive CSF drainage. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is defined as a syndrome of reduced CSF pressure that occurs in the absence of dural puncture, surgery, or trauma. The pathogenesis is generally thought to be an occult leak of...

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 increase the ...
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 ...
