Research progress of imaging and therapy in spontaneous intracranial hypotension

Abstract

Characterized by "postural headche", spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is one of the few diseases of central nervous system (CNS) that can be completely cured with definitive diagnosis. However, if the headache attacks are not typically postural, it brings doctors much difficulties to diagnose and make more misdiagnosis or diagnostic errors. In recent years, rapidly developed imaging technologies contribute to early diagnosis in clinic and a lot of new treatment methods were emerged. Here we summarize the literatures about imaging and treatment methods in the past few years to help doctors increase the understanding of SIH.
