Surgical management of spontaneous intracranial hypotension syndrome: a literature review.

Introduction: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a highly disabling but often misdiagnosed disorder. The optimal management options for patients with SIH remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to review studies reporting the management of SIH with a special emphasis on the surgical treatment of SIH including clinical trials, case series and case reports related to the issue of various neurosurgical procedures performed for SIH treatment.

Surgical treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension syndrome secondary to the cervical cerebrospinal leak - a case report.

Unlabelled: Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) is formed as a result of the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the extradural space. The most common symptom caused by SIH is headache associated with changes in body position. Imaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and spine with contrast, is the most important examination method in the diagnosis of SIH.
