Extractions: ¡@Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are often considered as the cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) but are not commonly demonstrated radiographically. We report a patient with a 3-week severe postural headache due to SIH whose CT-myelogram showed simultaneous rupture of multiple perineural cysts in the different levels of the thoracolumbar spine. Some typical MR pictures of the brain including diffuse meningeal enhancement and descent of the brain were also found. The signs and symptoms and MRI findings of the brain resolved after lumbar epidural blood patching injection.

During the 18-month study period, 18 patients (15 women; mean age, 38) were identified as having a spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak documented by computed tomography. Treatment consisted of surgical repair of the CSF leak in 13 patients and nonsurgical management in five patients. All patients had a positional headache at initial examination, Dr. Schievink reported; however, only one patient was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension at the first physician encounter. Of the other 17 patients, initially incorrect diagnoses included migraine, meningitis, various other headache types, posterior cervical strain, subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, subdural hematoma, and psychogenic effects. These patients sought attention from one to six physicians before the correct diagnosis was made. A total of 33 working diagnoses were made; these included chiari malformation, ocular myasthenia gravis, and cervical radiculopathy. The delay to correct diagnosis ranged from four days to 13 years, Dr. Schievink said. During this period, diagnostic procedures associated with risk that were performed on these patients included cerebral autobiography, craniotomy with meningeal biopsy, and transesophageal echocardiography. Erroneous diagnoses also resulted in craniotomies for decompression of cerebella tonsillar descent and evacuation of subdural fluid collection.

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 association can be helpful in the

Extractions: Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension in the Absence of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Abnormalities Kerrie L. Schoffer, Timothy J. Benstead, Ian Grant Abstract: Background: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a neurologic syndrome of unknown etiology, characterized by features of low cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure, postural headache and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities. Methods: Four symptomatic cases of SIH presented to our institution over a six-month period. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were performed in all four cases. Diagnostic lumbar puncture was done in all except one case. Results: All of the patients on whom lumbar punctures were performed demonstrated low CSF pressure and CSF protein elevation with negative cultures and cytology. Three out of the four patients exhibited MRI findings of diffuse spinal and intracranial pachymeningeal gadolinium enhancement and extradural or subdural fluid collections. One patient had no MRI abnormalities despite prominent postural headache and reduced CSF pressure at lumbar puncture. All patients recovered with intravenous fluids and conservative treatment. Conclusions: Magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities are found in most, but not all patients, with SIH. Cerebral spinal fluid abnormalities can be detected even in patients with normal MRI studies. It is important to recognize the variability of imaging results in this usually benign disorder.
