  • Title: Surgical treatment of cervical disc protrusion causing intracranial hypotension following chiropractic manipulation.
    Author: Wilson D, Steel T, Sutton I.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2015 Sep; 22(9):1523-5. PubMed ID: 26067544.
    Abstract:
    We describe a woman with intracranial hypotension provoked by a combination of calcified disc protrusion and chiropractic manipulation who required surgical intervention for definitive treatment. Intracranial hypotension is a rare but increasingly well recognized cause of orthostatic headache that arises due to spinal cerebrospinal fluid leakage from meningeal diverticula or dural perforations.
