ABSTRACT
Intracranial hypotension syndrome is easily underestimated by doctors and patients,but its occurrence is not infrequent.Primary intracranial hypotension is usually associated with cerebral blood vessel disturbance and infections.Secondary intracranial hypotension is usually secondary to iatrogenic and other diseases or trauma.The main manifestation of intracranial hypotension syndrome is postural headache which may be diagnosed by cerebrospinal fluid pressure measurement during lumber puncture.The headache can disappear by posture adjustment in most children,or by water intake or intravenous administration of hypotonic (0.5%)or saline in serious case.Prognosis is good and precaution is most important for all.
