Intracranial hypotension: An uncommon entity with common presentation.

Abstract

Headache disorders are among the most common presenting complaints in any neurology outpatient department. International Headache Society classifies headaches as "primary" or "secondary". The causes of secondary headaches are varied and intracranial hypotension is one of them. It typically presents clinically with postural headaches but most of the times, its diagnosis is delayed, as it is an uncommon cause and there is poor awareness among the medical fraternity about this condition. Imaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of intracranial hypotension by not only confirming the diagnosis but also detecting the cause in some cases. This case series tries to highlight the MRI findings of intracranial hypotension in three cases with different etiologies.
