Özet

It was with great interest that we read the paper by Girgis et al. (3) and the related papers regarding spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) in Turkish Neurosurgery. SIH is characterized with orthostatic headache, diffuse dural enhancement on MRI and low cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the absence of trauma history or lumbar puncture (3). Herein, we aimed to share our experience in a man diagnosed with SIH following soccer game managed with epidural blood patch (EBP) and underline potential role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the treatment response with demonstrative images.
