BENIGN INTRACRANIAL HYPOTENSION WITH INCIDENTAL PARASAGITTAL MENINGIOMA

SUKUMAR R

Abstract


Benign intracranial hypotension otherwise called as idiopathic intracranial hypotension is caused by CSF leaks due to disruption in spinal meninges. It is most commonly caused by disruption and leak at cervical and thoracic spine. Imaging is sometimes the most important key to the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypotension which helps in appropriate treatment of the patient. Here we are presenting a case of benign intracranial hypotension associated with incidental parasagittal meningioma.
