A 55-year-old woman had new onset of postural headache followed by change of mental status 3 weeks later. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and whole spine showed typical spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) findings, bilateral subdural hematoma, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage over the T7-T9. Her headache and mentality improved after epidural blood patches. Early recognition and correct diagnosis are crucial for successful treatment in patients with SIH presenting with mental confusion.
一名55岁女性出现体位性头痛,3周后出现精神状态改变。脑部和全脊柱磁共振成像(MRI)显示典型的自发性颅内低压(SIH)表现、双侧硬膜下血肿以及T7 - T9水平的脑脊液漏。硬膜外血贴治疗后,她的头痛和精神状态有所改善。对于出现精神错乱的SIH患者,早期识别和正确诊断对成功治疗至关重要。
