Background Context: Generative artificial intelligence (AI), ChatGPT being the most popular example, has been extensively assessed for its capability to respond to medical questions, such as queries in spine treatment approaches or technological advances. However, it often lacks scientific foundation or fabricates inauthentic references, also known as AI hallucinations.

Purpose: To develop an understanding of the scientific basis of generative AI tools by studying the authenticity of references and reliability in comparison to the alignment of responses of evidence-based guidelines.

Purpose Of Review: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a debilitating disease typically featuring orthostatic headache and caused by a spinal CSF leak. This review will describe the characteristics of SIH in pregnant patients and the associated unique management and treatment considerations.

Recent Findings: Herein, a novel case is reported of a 41-year-old woman who presented with SIH pre-conception but saw marked improvement of symptoms after 5 weeks antepartum and symptom recurrence 2 months post-partum.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypovolemia, often from a traumatic dural tear from a calcified spinal osteophyte. Visualizing osteophytes on CT imaging can guide decision making on candidate leak sites. We report the atypical case of a 41-year-old woman whose ventral CSF leak was associated with an osteophyte that resorbed over an 18-month period.
