Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, or spontaneous intracranial hypotension, can affect both the brain and spine. A new term, "spontaneous craniospinal hypotension," better describes this unifying condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is often termed spontaneous intracranial hypotension, focusing on cranial symptoms and imaging.
  • This condition involves low CSF pressure leading to neurological dysfunction.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with spontaneous CSF leak initially misdiagnosed on spinal MRI as epidural tumor or infection.
  • Serial MRI scans revealed resolution of both intracranial and spinal hypotension findings.

Findings:

  • The patient's clinical symptoms improved concurrently with the resolution of imaging abnormalities.
  • This case highlights the interconnectedness of intracranial and spinal changes in spontaneous CSF leak.

Implications:

  • The term "spontaneous craniospinal hypotension" is proposed to encompass the full spectrum of this syndrome.
  • This revised terminology better reflects the unified pathophysiology and imaging characteristics affecting both the cranium and spine.
