Abstract

A 55-year-old man presented with coma induced by spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). In magnetic resonance imaging, sagging and restricted diffusion in the splenium of the corpus callosum, diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement, and bilateral subdural hematomas were observed. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage was detected in the thoracic region and the patient was treated with a targeted epidural blood patch. After the treatment, the lesion in the corpus callosum disappeared without any residual abnormality and the patient fully recovered. SIH can be life-threatening and result in various clinical manifestations from mild orthostatic headache to deep coma. Targeted epidural blood patch treatment seems effective and lifesaving. SIH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of transient corpus callosum splenium lesion

Özet

Elli beş yaşında erkek hasta kliniğimize spontan intrakraniyal hipotansiyonun (SİH) yol açtığı koma tablosu ile geldi. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede korpus kallosum spleniumda difüzyon kısıtlaması, diffüz pakimeningeal boyanma ve bilateral subdural hematom görüldü. Torakal bölgede beyin omurilik sıvısı kaçağı saptandı ve hedef bölgeye yönelik epidural kan yaması işlemi uygulandı. Tedavi sonrası korpus kallosum lezyonu ve hastanın klinik durumu tamamen düzeldi. SİH hayatı tehdit edebilen bir hastalıktır. Ortostatik baş ağrısından ciddi komaya kadar değişebilen klinik tablo ile karşımıza çıkabilir. Kaçak bölgesine yönelik yapılan epidural kan yaması etkilidir ve hayat kurtarıcı olabilmektedir. Geçici korpus kallozum splenium lezyonunun ayırıcı tanısında yer almalıdır
