  • Title: Successful surgical treatment of intractable spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to a calcified thoracic disc prolapse.
    Author: Wilson D, Christie J, Ferch R.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2013 Dec; 20(12):1773-5. PubMed ID: 23871453.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to a calcified thoracic disc prolapse. Although most cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension resolve with conservative measures, a few reported patients require surgical intervention. We discuss an uncommon presentation of spontaneous intracranial hypotension, requiring surgical repair of a thoracic dural defect to achieve symptom resolution.
