Targeted Epidural Blood Patch Treatment for Refractory Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: A Case Report

Abstract: Purpose of Review Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is recognized far more commonly than before, and it is well known that SIH is sometimes complicated by chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). We reported a patient who was treated with epidural blood patch (EBP) five times for refractory SIH and SDH surgery. Recent Findings We experienced that targeted EBP was useful in refractory SIH, and also can be performed safely prior to drainage of the hematoma. Summary We report the case of SIH patient with a bilateral SDH who came to our hospital and was discharged 2 weeks later with no neurologic deficit after trephination and five times EBP treatment. It shows that targeted EBP was useful in refractory SIH, and also can be performed safely prior to drainage of the hematoma.
