Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is often considered as a cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) but are not commonly demonstrated radiographically. We report a patient with a 3-week severe postural headache due to SIH whose CT-myelogram showed simultaneous rupture of multiple perineural cysts at different levels of the thoracolumbar spine. Some typical MR pictures of the brain including diffuse meningeal enhancement and descent of the brain were also found. The signs and symptoms and MRI findings of the brain resolved after lumbar epidural blood patching injection.
