Primary intracranial hypotension and abnormal radionuclide cisternography. Report of a case and review of the literature.
We report a case of spontaneous posture-dependent headache associated with primary intracranial hypotension (PIH). The spinal fluid pressure was 0 cm H2O. Radioisotope cisternography showed that the cerebrospinal fluid flow was normal at the level of the spinal cord, but was suggestive for a hyperabsorption or leakage of CSF below the craniocervical junction.
