Spontaneous intracranial hypotension secondary to anterior thoracic osteophyte: Resolution after primary dural repair via posterior approach.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an uncommon syndrome widely attributed to CSF hypovolemia, typically secondary to spontaneous CSF leak. Although commonly associated with postural headache and variable neurological symptoms, one of the most severe consequences of SIH is

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension resulting from a thoracic osteophyte.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a 34-year-old woman who presented with progressive postural headache and neck tightness over 1week. We confirmed the diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and spinal images showed a thoracic osteophyte caused the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. SIH caused by spinal CSF

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension associated with transdural thoracic osteophyte reversed by primary. dural repair. Case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an increasingly recognized syndrome associated with a specific set of clinical and imaging findings; however, determining the site of spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in these patients is often difficult, and indications for surgical intervention

Cervical bone spur presenting with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to a spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a rare but increasingly recognized cause of postural headaches. The exact cause of these CSF leaks often remains unknown. The authors treated a 32-year-old man with a unique cause of spontaneous intracranial

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension from calcified thoracic disc protrusions causing CSF leak successfully treated with targeted epidural blood patch.

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

Lumbar Microdiscectomy.

In most patients, the radiculopathy associated with lumbar disc herniation resolves nonoperatively. For patients in whom nonsurgical management has failed, microdiscectomy can be considered. Today, an operating microscope is preferred because of the collinear light and magnification offered.

Idiopathic thoracic spinal cord herniation: retrospective analysis supporting a mechanism of diskogenic dural injury and subsequent tamponade.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE tSCH in the absence of spinal trauma or surgery is a rare disorder for which numerous mechanisms have been proposed. Here, we have conducted an analysis of images in all published reports of idiopathic tSCH and identified evidence supporting a pathogenesis in which anterior dural erosion

Posterior thoracic laminoplasty with dorsal, intradural identification of ventral defect and transdural discectomy for a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak: case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) has been increasingly reported in the literature concomitant with the improved sensitivity of imaging modalities. Although typically associated with meningeal weakening, a handful of cases of SIH secondary to thoracic disc osteophytes have been reported.

Intrathecal Saline Infusion as an Effective Temporizing Measure in the Management of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare condition for which no optimal treatment guidelines have been determined. The most common presentation is orthostatic headaches, but patients can present with a variety of symptoms.We present a case of a

Surgical treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension secondary to degenerative cervical spine pathology: a case report and literature review.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE A rare cause of intracranial hypotension is leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through a dural breach from degenerative cervical spine pathology. To our knowledge there have been only four cases described in the English literature. Treatment is challenging and varies from case to case,

Intradural non-calcified thoracic disc herniation causing spontaneous intracranial hypotension: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare pathology caused by a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. If intractable by conventional methods (i.e. bedrest, analgesics, or epidural blood patching) it may lead to the inability of the patient to cope with daily life and eventually to

Management of cerebrospinal fluid leakage following cervical spine surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To investigate the management and outcome of cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSFL) after cervical surgery. METHODS Medical records of 642 patients who underwent cervical surgery between December 1999 and December 2005 at our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Five patients complicated by

Thoracic epidural blood patch for spontaneous intracranial hypotension: case report and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is caused by spinal leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Treatment is directed at sealing the site of leak, which is often difficult to localize. We present a case of near fatal SIH that was treated with thoracic epidural blood patching. A 47-year old male

Leakage detection on CT myelography for targeted epidural blood patch in spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks: calcified or ossified spinal lesions ventral to the thecal sac.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe significant CT myelography findings for determination of the leak site and outcome of targeted epidural blood patch (EBP) in patients with spontaneous CSF leaks. METHODS During 2005-2013, spontaneous CSF leaks were diagnosed for 12 patients with
