  • Spontaneous low cerebrospinal fluid pressure headaches are a rare but treatable cause of debilitating headaches. The condition is characterized by a postural headache in the absence of any recent spinal procedures and is exacerbated when upright and relieved when supine. Diagnosis and treatment are often delayed, however, due to a lack of recognition and awareness, as illustrated by this case report of a patient who had multiple emergency department visits before further investigations were sought.

  • Spontaneous intracranial hypotension presenting to the ENT surgeon: case report

  • S Street, P Fagan, J Roche
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 123 / Issue 7 / July 2009

  • Objective:

    To highlight a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension presenting to the ENT surgeon.

    Method:

    We present a case report and a review of the literature concerning spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

    Results:

    Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rare diagnosis, particularly to the ENT surgeon. We report a patient with tinnitus, hearing loss and headache, symptoms suggestive of an ENT diagnosis such as Ménière's disease or vestibular schwannoma. However, magnetic resonance imaging revealed the characteristic findings of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The patient's symptoms resolved, except for a mild residual tinnitus, with conservative management alone.

    Conclusion:

    This case highlights the importance of considering spontaneous intracranial hypotension as a differential diagnosis of certain ENT symptoms.
