The diagnostic criteria for headache attributable to cranial venous sinus stenting were first formalized in the recently published third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). However, the diagnostic criteria for headache caused by cranial venous Spontaneous CSF leaks are increasingly recognized, and a broader clinical and imaging spectrum of the disorder is emerging. The headaches of CSF leaks are typically orthostatic, but sometimes especially with chronicity the orthostatic features are blurred into lingering chronic daily headaches.
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) has been increasingly recognized as a phenomenon caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear.
METHODS
We report 2 cases of SIH resulting from CSF leak from a meningeal diverticulum at the C2 nerve root
A 75-year-old woman presented to the Tropical Diseases Hospital, Goiania, Brazil, with a two-day history of fever and chills followed by headache and vomiting over the last 24 hours. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed 270 leukocytes/mmc (30 percent neutrophils); 20 red cells/mmc; undetectable
Fibrous-type left ventricular (LV) diverticulum is usually discovered incidentally. Most fibrous diverticula are clinically silent; they may, however, cause several fatal complications, such as spontaneous rupture. Here, we report a case in which multiple cerebral thromboembolisms occurred while a
A 26-year-old man with Marfan's syndrome had postural headache. Brain MRI with gadolinium showed diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement. MRI myelography revealed bilateral multiple large meningeal diverticula at sacral nerve roots level. He was suspected to have spontaneous intracranial hypotension
Orthostatic headache is derived from low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure as evidenced by cranial magnetic resonance myelography (MRM). This reports three cases of patients coming with orthostatic headache without previous obvious spine trauma. The first two cases had headache with radiating neck
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an under-diagnosed cause of headache in children and adolescents. SIH results from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak due to breach in the dura mater and the etiology for dural breach is often diverse. We report an adolescent boy who presented with chronic
Marked non-communicating hydrocephalus may rarely cause ventricular rupture producing either a dilated cystic cavity (ventricular diverticulum) or communication between ventricle system and subarachnoid space (spontaneous ventriculostomy). Ventricular diverticulum has been believed to be collection
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an increasingly recognized cause of atypical, secondary headaches. Nevertheless, its clinical and imaging spectrum is far from an exhaustive definition, ranging from straightforward cases with unambiguous findings and prompt response to treatment to more
Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are increasingly recognized in patients presenting with orthostatic headache and ultimately diagnosed with intracranial hypotension. While the precise cause of these spontaneous leaks is unknown, it is thought to result from underlying weakness in
A 76-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of a three-day history of severe postural headache without any apparent cause. Neurological examination revealed nuchal rigidity, and right auditory nerve paresis. Lumbar puncture yielded a low opening pressure of 50mmH2O and an
Surgical treatment for Rathke cleft cysts--Intrasellar and suprasellar cysts are often lesions observed in the neuroradiological examinations. The majority of them (craniopharyngioma, cystic pituitary adenoma) are histologically neoplasmic. The others originate from the remnants of the embryonic
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an uncommon clinical entity. Heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTD), such as Marfan syndrome, are frequently implicated as an underlying cause, due to dural structural weaknesses that predispose patients to spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid
Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are an increasingly recognized cause of intracranial hypotension. In this report the authors review the indications for surgery, surgical techniques, and surgery-related outcomes for these lesions. The major presenting symptoms include postural
