“…26 Spinal fluid collections are also commonly identified in cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. 27 In our series, 2 extradural collections and 1 subdural collection were identified. Although less common than extradural collections in our experience, subdural collections have been reported previously.…”

“…The association between SIH and spinal meningeal diverticula is well-established. 16 There is evidence that targeted therapy as close as possible to the site of CSF leak is beneficial; and targeted blood patches, fibrin glue therapy, and surgical ligation of spinal meningeal diverticula have been described with good results. 13,14 Present data suggest that MRM may be particularly helpful for the detection of CSF leak and guiding treatment for this subpopulation of patients with CSF leak associated with spinal meningeal diverticula.…”

“…Beyin omurilik sıvısı incelemesi normal olabilir ya da proteinde hafif artış, lenfositoz ya da ksantokromi görülebilir (4,13 (4,22,23). Spontan intrakranial hipotansiyon'lu hastaların çoğu iyi prognozludur, kendi kendini sınırlar ve yatak istirahati, agresif oral hidrasyon, kafein, glukokortikoidler ya da mineralokortikoidlere iyi cevap verirler (4,5,11,).…”

Amaç: Spontan intrakranial hipotansiyon, nadir görülen bir sendrom olup, düșük beyin omurilik sıvısı (BOS) basıncı ile ilișkili ortostatik baș ağrısı ile karakterizedir. Bu çalıșmanın amacı, spontan intrakranial hipotansiyonun kranial ve spinal magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulgularının kliniğimize bașvuran hastalar eșli-ğinde incelenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Șubat 2013-Haziran 2014 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde tanı alan 5 (4 kadın, 1 erkek) spontan intrakranial hipotansiyon olgusu çalıșmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların geliș semptomları, kranial MRG bulguları ve bir hastanın ek olarak spinal MRG bulguları incelendi.Bulgular: Hastaların tümü ortostatik baș ağrısı ile bașvurdu. Diğer semptomlar arasında vertigo, mide bulantısı ve tinnitus bulunmakta idi. Kontrastlı kranial MRG incelemesinde, tüm hastalarda pakimeningeal kontrast tutulumu, venöz yapılarda angorjman, subdural hematom, hipofizer hiperemi saptandı. Bir hastada bu bulgulara ek olarak, bilateral amigdala ve parahipokampal girusta inferiora doğru herniasyon mevcuttu. Diğer bir hastada ise spinal MRG'de ekstradural sıvı koleksiyonu ve venöz yapılarda belirginleșme saptandı.Sonuç: Ortostatik baș ağrısı tarifleyen olgularda ayırıcı tanıda spontan intrakranial hipotansiyon düșünülme-lidir. MRG tipik bulguların gösterilmesinde ve tanının doğrulanmasında invaziv olmayan altın standart görün-tüleme yöntemidir.Anahtar Kelimeler: İntrakranial Hipotansiyon; Kranial MRG; Spinal MRG Aim: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rare syndrome, characterized by orthostatic headache associated with a low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. The aim of this study is to examine the brain and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of spontaneous intracranial hypotension among the cases presenting in our clinic.Material and Methods: 5 cases ( 4 females and 1 male) diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension in our clinic between February 1 st, 2013 and June 30th, 2014 were included in this study. The presenting symptoms, findings brain MRI of all patients and also spinal MRI of one patient were recorded.Results: All patients presented with orthostatic headache. The other associated symptoms were vertigo, nausea and tinnitus. Gadolinium-enhanced cranial MRI disclosed enhancement of the pachymeninges, engorgement of venous structures, subdural hematome, pituitary hyperemia in all patients. Downward herniation of bilateral amigdala and parahippocampal gyrus was observed in one of our patients. In another patient spinal MRI showed extradural fluid collection and venous engorgement.Conclusion: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension should be suspected in cases with orthostatic headache complaint. MRI is the non-invasive gold-standard imaging method in recognizing the typical findings and validation of the diagnosis.
