A middle-aged man had classical clinical and radiographical features of spontaneous intracranial hypotension, refractory to conservative management. His medical history included antiphospholipid syndrome, autoimmune thrombocytopenia and recurrent thrombotic events. To reduce his risk from epidural blood patching, we stopped his anticoagulation, but he developed thrombosis.

The aim of this review is to describe the characteristics of diffuse midline gliomas H3 K27-altered in the adult population.
Methods: We performed a review of the current literature regarding the genetic, clinical, imaging characteristics and management of diffuse midline gliomas H3 K27-altered in adult patients.
Background: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an uncommon, benign, and generally self-limiting condition caused by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and pressure usually caused by a CSF leak. Patients with SIH have an increased incidence of subdural hematomas (SDH), which may be bilateral and recurrent.
Case Description: We report a unique case of a man presenting with SIH and bilateral SDH that were drained with bilateral craniotomies.
Objectives: To review neurological complications after the influenza A (H1N1) pdm09, highlighting the clinical differences between patients with post-vaccine or viral infection.
Design: A search on Medline, Ovid, EMBASE, and PubMed databases using the keywords “neurological complications of Influenza AH1N1” or “post-vaccine Influenza AH1N1.”
Setting: Only papers written in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, and Italian published from March 2009 to December 2012 were included.
