More MS news articles for April 2002 Life-threatening intracranial hypotension after diagnostic lumbar puncture Neurol Sci 2001 Oct;22(5):385-9 Francia A, Parisi P, Vitale A M, Esposito V. Third Clinic of Neurology, Department of Neurological Sciences, La Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. Intracranial hypotension syndrome as a complication of diagnostic lumbar puncture is a rarely observed entity. Intracranial hypotension syndrome is characterized by postural headache, neck pain/stiffness, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, clouding of consciousness, dizziness and vertigo. The majority of cases resolve spontaneously with conservative treatment. Rarely, epidural blood patch is required. We report a 41-year-old man with multiple sclerosis, who developed intracranial hypotension syndrome after diagnostic lumbar puncture and who did not respond to conservative treatment. A subdural hematoma was subsequently found, when the patient showed considerable worsening of clinical conditions with life-threatening symptoms. Surgical evacuation of the subdural hematoma was not sufficient to improve significantly the patient's conditions, while complete symptoms remission was achieved 12 hours after epidural blood patch.

First Web Papers On Serendip CSF Leaks and Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension F Michaels Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) is a condition where a patient gets postural headaches due to a leak of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) in the spinal membrane. What happens is that the leak causes low CSF pressure within the nervous system, and thus causes a constant string of headaches to the patient. The problem with SIH is that it is very hard to diagnose and there is not a great deal of information on why it occurs. In 1995, a study showed that only one in fifty-thousand people in Minnesota had SIH. It also showed that SIH was more common in women than in men, and that the condition usually developed while the patient was between 40 and 60 years old. When first researching this condition, my two main questions were: Why does it develop and can it be cured? In order to answer these questions, one must first examine how CSF runs through the body and the specific symptoms of SIH.

Source: British Journal of Neurosurgery, 1 June 2001 , vol. 15, no. 3, pp. 239-241(3) Publisher: Taylor and Francis Ltd full text options Abstract: We describe two recent cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. A 38-year-old woman developed a severe postural headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed marked dural enhancement. Histopathological findings of dural biopsy showed numerous dilated vessels in the dura, rather than hypertrophic change. Lumber CSF pressure was 5 cmH O. MRI myelography revealed multiple CSF pouches along the whole spinal axis. CSF leakage was demonstrated on Radioisotope (RI) cisternography. Both cases described in this report were diagnosed as spontaneous intracranial hypotension caused by CSF leakage from spinal meningeal diverticula and were successfully treated by intravenous Factor XIII administration.

During the 18-month study period, 18 patients (15 women; mean age, 38) were identified as having a spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak documented by computed tomography. Treatment consisted of surgical repair of the CSF leak in 13 patients and nonsurgical management in five patients. All patients had a positional headache at initial examination, Dr. Schievink reported; however, only one patient was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension at the first physician encounter. Of the other 17 patients, initially incorrect diagnoses included migraine, meningitis, various other headache types, posterior cervical strain, subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, subdural hematoma, and psychogenic effects. These patients sought attention from one to six physicians before the correct diagnosis was made. A total of 33 working diagnoses were made; these included chiari malformation, ocular myasthenia gravis, and cervical radiculopathy. The delay to correct diagnosis ranged from four days to 13 years, Dr. Schievink said. During this period, diagnostic procedures associated with risk that were performed on these patients included cerebral autobiography, craniotomy with meningeal biopsy, and transesophageal echocardiography. Erroneous diagnoses also resulted in craniotomies for decompression of cerebella tonsillar descent and evacuation of subdural fluid collection.

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks Timothy C. Hain , MD Please read our Return to Index Page last modified: July 9, 2005 Cerebrospinal fluid depletion may be caused by a leak, a shunt, inadequate production or too rapid absorption. Symptoms commonly include headaches, which are more severe in the upright position and are alleviated by supine or head-lowered below chest(Trendelenburg) positioning. There may also be nausea and tinnitus . Horizontal diplopia, change in hearing tinnitus , blurring of vision, facial numbness and upper limb radicular symptoms (tingling) may occur. These symptoms are rather nonspecific as they are commonly encountered in migraine and post-traumatic headache. Cognitive decline has also been reported (Hong et al, 2002; Pleasure et al, 1998). As this is an otoneurology site, we will go into the hearing related symptoms in a bit more detail. While CSF leak is generally accompanied by an orthostatic (upright only) headache, this association is not universal and in fact, hearing loss may be more common than headache (Oncel et al, 1992). Orthostatic tinnitus is also possible.(Arai, Takada et al. 2003). The hearing loss of CSF leak likely results from lowering of CSF pressure, which lowers perilymphatic (inner ear) pressure, and results in a picture similar to
