Spontan intrakranyal hipotansiyon. Olgu sunumu

Spontan İntrakranyal Hipotansiyon (SİH), nadir görülen, sebebi bilinmeyen, benign bir hastalıktır.15 Biz bu yazıda postural baş ağrısı, düşük BOS basıncı ile birlikte kraniyal Magnetik Rezonans Görüntülemesi'nde (MRG) dif- füz pakimeningeal kontrast tutulumu ile SİH tanısı koyduğumuz bir olgu dolayısıyla ender görülen bu antitenin literatür ışığında tanı ve tedavi sorunlarını gündeme taşımayı amaçladık.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension

Background.- Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rarely seen benign disease with unknown etiology. The cardinal symptom is postural headache which occurred without any reason. One or more of the symptoms such as pain or stiffness of the neck, interscapular pain, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, horizontal diplopia, changed in hearing, visual blurring, face numbness and weakness in upper extremities can accompany. Observation.- By the way of the case in which we have diagnosed spontaneous intracranial hypotension with the signs of postural headache, low cerebrospinal fluid pressure and diffuse pachymeningeal contrast enhancement we aimed to bring on date the problems in diagnosis and treatment of this rarely seen antity.
