Csf Leaks

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) was described nearly 70 years ago, and for years it was essentially equated with post dural puncture headaches (PDPH) (1). The interest in this entity substantially increased after the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities of this disorder were recognized in the early 1990s (2-6), and consequently many more patients were diagnosed than before and a far broader clinical spectrum of this disorder began to become apparent. It also came to be recognized that the overwhelming majority if not all cases of SIH result from spontaneous cerebrospinal (CSF) leaks and that the independent pathogenic parameter is loss of CSF volume (7).

Csf Leaks

Background: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare condition that can be very debilitating. SIH is well understood to be due to a CSF leak, however, identifying the source of the leak is still a challenge. We are presenting a case of Type 4 CSF leak and reviewing the related literature. Case Description: A 46-year-old female presenting with intractable orthostatic headaches was diagnosed with SIH. She was unable to mobilize due to the severity of her symptoms. MRI scans of the brain and spine did not identify a source of the leak. After failing conservative therapy and multiple epidural blood patches, the patient underwent surgery which resulted in significant improvement in symptoms. Conclusion: This study has shown that surgical intervention improves symptoms in patients who do not have an identifiable source of CSF leak. Further studies need to be done to fully understand the role of surgery in Type 4 CSF leaks.
