1 J Neurosurg 103: , 2005 Spectrum of subdural fluid collections in spontaneous intracranial hypotension WOUTER I. SCHIEVINK, M.D., M. MARCEL MAYA, M.D., FRANKLIN G. MOSER, M.D., AND JAMES TOURJE, M.D. Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute, Imaging Medical Group, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California S Object. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a noteworthy but commonly misdiagnosed cause of new daily persistent headaches. Subdural fluid collections are frequent radiographic findings, but they can be interpreted as primary rather than secondary pathological entities, and uncertainties exist regarding their optimal management. The authors therefore reviewed their experience with subdural fluid collections in 40 consecutive patients with spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and intracranial hypotension. Methods. The mean age of the 26 female and 14 male patients was 43 years (range years). Subdural fluid collections were present in 20 patients (50%); 12 of these patients (60%) had subdural hygromas alone, and eight (40%) had subacute to chronic subdural hematomas (SDHs) associated with significant mass effect. The subdural hygromas resolved within several days to weeks following treatment of the underlying CSF leak. Three patients with SDHs underwent evacuation of the hematoma prior to the establishment of the diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hypotension, but the SDHs did not resolve until the underlying spinal CSF leak was treated. In the remaining five patients, the CSF leak was treated primarily and the SDHs resolved over a 1- to 3-month period without the need for evacuation. Conclusions. Subdural fluid collections are common in spontaneous intracranial hypotension, varying in appearance from thin subdural hygromas to large SDHs associated with significant mass effect. These collections can be safely managed by directing treatment at the underlying CSF leak without the need for hematoma evacuation. KEY WORDS cerebrospinal fluid leak headache intracranial hypotension subdural hematoma PONTANEOUS intracranial hypotension is increasingly recognized as a noteworthy cause of new daily persistent headaches, 2,4,6,7,13,14,17,20 22,25,29 although its initial misdiagnosis remains common. 22 Its cause is a spontaneous spinal CSF leak often associated with an underlying generalized connective tissue disorder. 24,25,27 Pachymeningeal enhancement and downward displacement of the brain are the most characteristic imaging findings in intracranial hypotension. 4,11 14,23,25 Another important imaging feature is a subdural fluid collection, 4,5,7 9,11 14,17 19,23,28 generally resulting in a neurosurgical consultation. The relationship between subdural fluid collections and intracranial hypotension has been recognized for at least half a century. 10,15,21 Yet, the subdural fluid collections associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension are often interpreted as primary rather than secondary pathological entities, and uncertainties exist regarding their optimal management. We therefore reviewed our experience with subdural fluid collections in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Clinical Material and Methods The patient population consisted of a group of 40 consec- Abbreviations used in this paper: CSF = cerebrospinal fluid; CT = computerized tomography; MR = magnetic resonance; SDH = subdural hematoma. 608 FIG. 1.

2 Subdural hematomas and intracranial hypotension utive patients with spontaneous CSF leaks and intracranial hypotension who had been referred to us for evaluation and treatment. The 26 female and 14 male patients had a mean age of 43 years (range years). In 37 patients the presenting symptom was a positional headache. Cranial CT scans, MR images, or both were available for all patients and these studies were reviewed for features of intracranial hypotension. The presence of a spinal CSF leak was confirmed on CT myelography in all patients. Treatment consisted of bed rest, epidural blood patching, percutaneous placement of fibrin sealant, or surgical correction of the CSF leak. Follow up was complete in all patients, with a minimal follow up of 3 months from the time of the last treatment. FIG. 2. A T 2 -weighted MR image revealing subdural hygromas in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Results Subdural fluid collections were present in 20 (50%) of 40 patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The mean age of these 12 women and eight men was 42 years (range years). Among these 20 patients, 12 (60%) had subdural hygromas only and eight (40%) had subacute to chronic SDHs associated with significant mass effect. No significant difference was found in age, sex, symptomatology, or location of the CSF leak among the different groups of patients. The subdural hygromas were all thin, bilateral, symmetrical, and associated with no or only minimal mass effect (Figs. 1 and 2). The SDHs were unilateral in two patients and bilateral but asymmetrical in six patients (Fig. 3). The maximal thickness of the SDH ranged from 1 to 3 cm. The SDHs were heterogeneous in appearance with variable signal intensity and often accompanied by septations. In two of the patients with SDHs, initial MR imaging studies demonstrated small subdural hygromas, but spontaneous intracranial hypotension was not diagnosed and subsequent imaging revealed the development of SDHs even though the patients headaches had improved. Subdural hygromas resolved in all 12 patients within several days to weeks following successful treatment of the underlying CSF leak. Three patients with SDHs initially were treated elsewhere with burr hole drainage or craniotomy prior to establishing the diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. In these three patients, the SDHs did FIG. 3.

In the remaining five patients with SDHs, the underlying CSF leak was treated primarily and the SDHs resolved over a 1- to 3-month period without the need for evacuation (Figs. 5 and 6). One of these patients underwent surgical repair of an extensive cervical CSF leak, and postoperative imaging studies revealed an increase in the SDHs with acute hemorrhage. Note, however, that the patient was asymptomatic, and the SDH subsequently resolved completely and without complication (Fig. 7). Discussion In our study, subdural fluid collections were common ra- FIG. 5. Computerized tomography scans demonstrating an SDH (arrows in left) in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

In previous studies, authors have reported subdural fluid collections in 10 to 80% of patients. 4,5,7,11 14,25,28,31 In our study, 60% of subdural fluid collections were hygromas associated with no or minimal mass effect and 40% consisted of subacute to chronic SDHs associated with significant mass effect. In spontaneous intracranial hypotension, subdural hygromas are believed to be compensatory enlargement of the subdural/subarachnoid space due to the loss of CSF volume, whereas SDHs are probably caused by tearing of bridging veins or bleeding from enlarged veins in the subdural zone. The heterogeneous appearance of the SDHs and the presence of septations indicate that recurrent bleeding within the subdu- FIG. 7.

No correlation between the presence of subdural fluid collections and clinical features was observed in our study. In the two patients in whom SDHs developed from subdural hygromas while the underlying CSF leak was left untreated, symptoms actually improved. We postulate that the development of the SDHs corrected the abnormally low intracranial pressure or volume. 19,26 Other authors, however, have reported significant clinical deterioration associated with the development of SDHs from hygromas. 5 In those patients, the deterioration may have been due to progressive diencephalic herniation in the setting of brain sagging rather than the development of the SDHs. Data from our study show that subdural fluid collections associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension, including large SDHs associated with significant mass effect, can be safely managed by directing treatment at the underlying CSF leak without the need for a craniotomy or burr hole drainage. Resolution of the typical imaging features of spontaneous intracranial hypotension such as meningeal enhancement or brain sagging often can be demonstrated within days of successful treatment of the CSF leak and we found similar rapid resolution of subdural hygromas among patients in our study. For SDHs with mass effect, however, resolution was more protracted and lasted up to 3 months. In one of the patients in our study, the SDH increased in size immediately after surgery and we posit that this change was related to a relatively large loss of CSF volume intraoperatively. In none of the patients were the subdural fluid collections believed to be primarily responsible for the patient s symptoms, and treatment of the underlying CSF leak was performed on an elective basis. Note, however, that treatment becomes more complex when a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension becomes obtunded and SDHs with mass effect are demonstrated on radiographic examination. Good results following simple SDH evacuation have been reported, 5 whereas other patients have only regained normal neurological functioning after intrathecal saline infusion or other specific treatment of the underlying CSF leak. 1,3,16,30,32,33 Data in our study confirm that if SDHs are evacuated but spontaneous intracranial hypotension is not diagnosed and the underlying CSF leak is left untreated, the risk of persistent or recurrent SDHs is high. 8,18 The most important step in recognizing underlying spontaneous intracranial hypotension in patients presenting with spontaneous subdural fluid collections is a high clinical index of suspicion. Clinically, important clues to a correct diagnosis are the absence of any significant head trauma or coagulopathy and, commonly, a history of positional headaches. Radiographically, characteristic features associated with intracranial hypotension include meningeal enhancement and brain sagging, consisting of downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils, flattening of the pons against the clivus, and crowding of the optic chiasm. In most patients, these clinical and radiographic features allow the diagnosis to be made with confidence, whereas in others further spinal imaging is required to demonstrate evidence of the underlying CSF leak. Conclusions Subdural fluid collections are common in spontaneous intracranial hypotension, varying in appearance from thin subdural hygromas to large SDHs associated with significant mass effect. These subdural fluid collections can be safely managed by directing treatment at the underlying CSF leak without the need for hematoma evacuation. References 1.
