Abstract:

Syndrome of spontaneous intracranial hypotension is increasingly described in the literature as a multifactorial disease with impairment of the quality of life and risk of mortality. CSF-venous fistula as a cause of intracranial hypotension syndrome is extremely rare and requires complex diagnosis and timely surgical treatment.

OBJECTIVE

We present a 55-year-old patient with acute spontaneous intracranial hypotension and spinal CSF-venous fistula. Literature data are also analyzed.

RESULTS

Algorithm for diagnosis and efficacy of microsurgical resection of CSF-venous fistula is demonstrated.

CONCLUSION

Intracranial hypotension following spinal fistula requires careful examination. Accurate understanding of pathophysiological and anatomical features of this disease is necessary to select an effective treatment method.

Keywords:

CSF-venous fistula
spontaneous intracranial hypotension
CSF fistula
