Chirurgická terapie spontánní intrakraniální hypotenze.

The article discusses spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), a clinical condition characterized by postural headaches caused by the spontaneous leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the extradural space. The most common cause of CSF leakage is a longitudinal dural tear, meningeal diverticulum, or direct cerebrospinal venous fistula (LVF). SIH is an underdiagnosed condition with an incidence of 5 per 100,000 people per year, typically affecting individuals between the ages of 40-50, with a higher prevalence in women. The article presents a case study of a 61-year-old woman with SIH who underwent surgical treatment, resulting in the resolution of her symptoms. The article also discusses the diagnosis and treatment of LVF, a potential cause of SIH. [Extracted from the article]
