ABSTRACT
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) results from spontaneous cerebral spinal fluid leakage, of unknown etiology, at the level of the spine. Physicians' unfamiliarity with SIH and a its varied clinical and radiographic manifestations may contribute to a delayed or erroneous diagnosis. We report an SIH patient whose subdural hematoma (SDH) clinically mimicked meningitis, but who recovered 1 week later, without any neurologic deficit, after an epidural blood patch (EBP) treatment.
