intracranial hypotension

Typically, intracranial hypotension causes a postural headache - one induced by a shift in position.

The symptoms included orthostatic headaches and other features that are now recognized as spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (low pressure on the cerebrospinal fluid without an explanation)

Intracranial hypotension syndrome has been known to mimic downwards transtentorial herniation.

A loss of CSF greater than its rate of production leads to a decreased volume inside the skull known as intracranial hypotension.

This could indicate an unusual condition known as intracranial hypotension - low pressure in the skull - which can also lead to the formation of tiny fluid pockets.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension may occur as a result of an occult leak of CSF into another body cavity.

While referred to as intracranial hypotension the intracranial pressure may be normal, but low-volume CSF is instead the underlying issue.

The full clinical manifestations of intracranial hypotension and CSF leaks were described in several publications reported between the 1960s and early 1990s.

The increased pressure causes a rupture of the cranial dura mater, leading to CSF leak and intracranial hypotension.

Recently, a common but underdiagnosed condition suspected to be closely related to orthostatic hypotension is spontaneous intracranial hypotension, which results from cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

If persistent intracranial hypotension is the result of a lumbar puncture, a "blood patch" may be applied to seal the site of CSF leakage.

The primary and most serious complication of SCSFLS is spontaneous intracranial hypotension, where pressure in the brain is severely decreased.

Both cranial and spinal spontaneous CSF leaks cause neurological symptoms as well as spontaneous intracranial hypotension, diminished volume and pressure of the cranium.

According to this theory, dural holes and intracranial hypotension are symptoms caused by low pressure in the epidural space due to outflow to the heart through the inferior vena cava vein.

The displacement of the cerebellar tonsils into the spinal canal may be mistaken for a Chiari I malformation, and some patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension have undergone decompressive posterior fossa surgery.

The development of accurate and reliable non-invasive ICP measurement methods for VIIP has the potential to benefit many patients on earth who need screening and/or diagnostic ICP measurements, including those with hydrocephalus, intracranial hypertension, intracranial hypotension, and patients with cerebrospinal fluid shunts.
