Purpose: We studied the clinico-radiological features and treatment outcomes of patients with aggressive spinal haemangiomas.
Methods: We undertook a retrospective review of 24 patients with aggressive spinal haemangiomas managed at our centre from 2004 to 2016. The cohort was divided into two groups.
Intracranial hypotension (IH) represents a syndrome secondary to low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. This case of IH following a lumbar drain inserted before the excision of a left intraconal lesion, leading to recurrent post-operative unilateral subdural and extradural collections, was treated successfully with the evacuation of the collection and simultaneous epidural blood patch (EBP) injection. Our report provides an important perspective on the management of IH with recurrent intracranial collections and reiterates that IH should be considered when dealing with recurrent unilateral intracranial collections in the post-operative period.
