title: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension with pachymeningeal enhancement on MRI.
abstract: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rarely reported syndrome of spontaneously occurring postural cephalalgia associated with low CSF pressure. We report a case of SIH in which MRI of the brain revealed diffuse symmetric pachymeningeal enhancement that resolved without specific therapy.
