Contact us today to schedule a consultation and explore your treatment options.
Intracranial hypotension occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels drop, leading to low pressure inside the skull. CSF is continuously produced in the brain’s ventricles, absorbed into the bloodstream, and plays a crucial role in cushioning the brain, delivering nutrients, and removing waste. A reduction, often due to a CSF leak, causes the brain to sag, triggering headaches and neurological symptoms.
The most common symptom is a positional headache that worsens when sitting up and improves when lying down. Other symptoms include nausea, dizziness, vision or hearing changes, neck pain, and difficulty concentrating.
It is often caused by a CSF leak due to a lumbar puncture, spinal surgery, trauma, or a congenital weakness. Shunt procedures for hydrocephalus and exertion-related leaks can also contribute.
At Southern California Brain & Spine Surgery, we design personalized treatment plans to restore cerebrospinal fluid levels and alleviate symptoms, using the latest neurosurgical advancements.
Conservative approaches include bed rest, increased fluid and caffeine intake, and pain relievers to help restore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) balance and relieve symptoms.
Treatment may involve an epidural blood patch, where blood is injected near the spine to seal a CSF leak. If caused by an over-draining shunt, adjusting or replacing the valve may be necessary.
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. We use advanced imaging techniques to detect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and identify their cause. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools ensure precise evaluation, helping neurosurgeons and neurologists develop the best treatment plan. Technologies we use:
