  • Title: Cerebral vasospasm following intracranial hypotension caused by cerebrospinal fluid leak from an incidental lumbar durotomy. Case report.
    Author: Chaves C, Freidberg SR, Lee G, Zerris V, Ries S, Chavali R.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2005 Jan; 102(1):152-5. PubMed ID: 15658107.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on the unusual case of a patient with intracranial hypotension following an incidental durotomy complicated by an extensive but reversible cerebral vasospasm. Despite the dural tear repair and correction of the intracranial hypotension, the vasospasm ran its course. The precise mechanism of the cerebral vasospasm in this patient is unclear.
