Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a neurologic dis- order that typically presents with orthostatic headaches due to low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and/or CSF leakage, usu- ally accompanied by neck pain, tinnitus, disturbed hearing, photophobia and/or nausea. SIH symptoms disappear after cor- rec tion of CSF pres sure. Di ag no sis of spon ta ne ous intracra nial hypotension, de spite ex ten sive in ves ti ga ti on, re mains a sig nif i - cant challenge in daily clinical practice due to heterogeneous pre- sentation. It is estimated that the number of undiagnosed cases may be as high as 94%. Underdiagnosis and incorrect treatment of SIH negatively impact patients’ quality of life and cause nega- tive economic and social consequences. This article summarises recent data about SIH and presents a clinical case. |
