Extractions: Third Clinic of Neurology, Department of Neurological Sciences, La Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. Intracranial hypotension syndrome as a complication of diagnostic lumbar puncture is a rarely observed entity. Intracranial hypotension syndrome is characterized by postural headache, neck pain/stiffness, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, clouding of consciousness, dizziness and vertigo. The majority of cases resolve spontaneously with conservative treatment. Rarely, epidural blood patch is required. We report a 41-year-old man with multiple sclerosis, who developed intracranial hypotension syndrome after diagnostic lumbar puncture and who did not respond to conservative treatment. A subdural hematoma was subsequently found, when the patient showed considerable worsening of clinical conditions with life-threatening symptoms. Surgical evacuation of the subdural hematoma was not sufficient to improve significantly the patient's conditions, while complete symptoms remission was achieved 12 hours after epidural blood patch.

Extractions: , Oleaga L., Ibarra V., Vicente I., Grande J., Grande D. Intracranial hypotension secondary to lumbar puncture: Magnetic resonance imaging findings Purpose: To demonstrate the MRI imaging findings in three cases of intracranial hypotension after lumbar puncture. Material and Methods: We studied three patients with an acute onset of severe postyerior cervico-occipital pain while standing, alleviated by lying flat. In all three cases a lumbar puncture was performed a few days before starting the headache. MR images were performed in a 1.0 Tesla unit (Siemens. Erlangen. Germany). Sagital SE T1Weighted, Axial TSE T2Weighted, Axial SE T1Weighted and Axial and Coronal SE T1Weighted images after gadolinium enhancement were acquired. Results: All three patients were HIV(+), in one of the cases the patient came to the emergency room with a seizure, other patient came with fever and behavioral changes and the third patient presentes with headache. In all three cases a lumbar puncture was performed. Aproximately three days after the procedure was performed, they experienced an acute, postural, occipital and cervical headache. The pain was exacerbated while standing and dissapeared while lying flat. The CSF examination did not show any abnormalities. MR images demonstrated a diffuse meningeal thickening and enhancement. In two cases we found bilateral subdural hematomas. The symptoms and MR imaging findings dissapeared after a period of bed rest.

Extractions: Intracranial hypotension (IH) is a rare cause of acute headache. There are secondary IH (more frequently, after lumbar puncture, head and back trauma, brain and spine surgery) and essential (spontaneous intracranial hypotension SIH). SIH was first described by Schaltenbrand in 1938. This syndrome is characterized mainly by acute postural headeache. The authors report a case of 45-year-old women with SIH. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by lumbar puncture and characteristic MR. The symptoms completely regressed within 2 weeks. The treatment was based on bed rest, hypotonic solutions, steroids, caffeine. Pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of SIH are discussed.

Extractions: Timothy C. Hain , MD Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: November 29, 2003 Cerebrospinal fluid depletion may be caused by a leak, a shunt, inadequate production or too rapid absorption. Symptoms commonly include headaches, which are more severe in the upright position and are alleviated by supine positioning. There may also be nausea and tinnitus. Horizontal diplopia, change in hearing tinnitus , blurring of vision, facial numbness and upper limb radicular symptoms (tingling) may occur. These symptoms are rather nonspecific as they are commonly encountered in migraine and post-traumatic headache. Cognitive decline has also been reported (Hong et al, 2002; Pleasure et al, 1998). As this is an otoneurology site, we will go into the hearing related symptoms in a bit more detail. While CSF leak is generally accompanied by an orthostatic (upright only) headache, this association is not universal and in fact, hearing loss may be more common than headache (Oncel et al, 1992). Orthostatic tinnitus is also possible.(Arai, Takada et al. 2003). The hearing loss of CSF leak likely results from lowering of CSF pressure, which lowers perilymphatic (inner ear) pressure, and results in a picture similar to

Slit Ventricle Syndrome overdrainage of CSF, periventricular fibrosis, intermittent proximal shunt malfunction, decreased intracranial compliance, and intracranial hypotension. http://www.ucch.org/sections/neurosurg/NeuroReview/11-Pediatrics/SlitVentricleSy
Extractions: Slit Ventricle Syndrome Definition slit ventricle syndrome has been applied to a small subset of these shunt-dependent children who develop disabling chronic or recurring headaches associated with signs and symptoms of increased ICP and persistant small or slit-like ventricles by CT. Pathology Pathogenesis 1. One hypothesis is that chronic overdrainage in the upright position creates a suction-induced collapse of the ventricular wall around the ventricular catheter, causing recurrent elevations of ICP, and ultimately complete shunt obstruction. The CT scan shows increases in ventricular volume during the episodes of severe headache. 3. A partially obstructed ventricular catheter may limit the ability to increase CSF drainage rate in response to increases in intracranial volume, and thus precipitate the pressure wave; this would explain the observation that in some situations a shunt revision is curative even with a normal preoperative shunt study. Clinical Features headaches that are chronic intermittent , and recurring . Headaches exacerbated by activity and upright position may be suffering from chronic intracranial hypotension. Imaging Treatment and Results Medical steroids and acetazolamide may significantly relieve the headache.

A Case Of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Typical Findings A case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension typical findings of myelogram, CTM and MRI. ?A case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension is presented. http://www.m.chiba-u.ac.jp/med-journal/76/76-4/764e2.html
Extractions: ¡¡A case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension is presented. The patient was a 28 year-old female and was admitted to our hospital with orthostatic headache and back pain. Spinal puncture revealed low liquor pressure. Myelogram disclosed narrowed dural tube and emphasized outline of cauda equina and spinal cord. CTM showed an enhanced area in the posterior site of dural tube. Her complaints were gradually relieved without specific treatment. We also performed gadolinium enhanced MRI which revealed meningeal enhancement and dilatation of internal vertebral venous plexus. These typical radiological findings enabled us to diagnose this case as spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
