AIM: Intracranial hypotension may have variable clinical presentation. The imaging characteristics of intracranial hypotension are especially well depicted on magnetic resonance imaging studies. Although the clinical and radiological manifestations of spontaneous intracranial hypotension are increasingly recognized in many reports, many other abnormalities in this disorder and complicating cases still exist. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 16-year-old patient suffering from nausea vomiting and blurred consciousness was admitted to the hospital. MRI showed diffuse pachymeningeal thickening resembling intracranial hypotension and ventricular enlargement like compensated hydrocephalus. The patient was investigated and treated using endoscopic third ventriculostomy. CONCLUSION: The authors presented a case of intracranial hypotension complicated with hydrocephalus. Specific causes for intracranial hypotension as well as additional new treatment options will also be discussed. |
