Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension usually manifests orthostatic headache caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage without procedure or trauma to meninges. There was temporal relationship between intracranial hypotension and various precipitating factors such as positional changes, valsalva maneuver, minor trauma and only rarely airplane travel. Here, we report the first korean case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension after airplane travel. A 37-year-old woman presented with orthostatic headache after airplane travel. Her cerebrospinal fluid pressure is 55 mmCSF and cervical spinal level of cerebrospinal fluid leakage confirmed by cisternography. Her symptoms resolved after the epidural blood patch and she was later discharged without any complications.
