Key Points

This research aims to analyze the experiences and outcomes related to spontaneous intracranial hypotension in a tertiary care setting.
Implemented standardized imaging protocols to identify symptoms and cases.
Utilized epidural blood patch (EBP) as a primary treatment for symptomatic relief.
Monitored the predominance of symptoms like orthostatic headache.
Highlighted the common occurrence of orthostatic headache in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
Showed that epidural blood patch provides rapid symptomatic relief.
Emphasized the importance of early recognition for better outcomes.

Abstract

This study represents the largest Indian SIH series to date, highlighting the predominance of orthostatic headache and pachymeningeal enhancement. EBP offers rapid symptomatic relief and remains the preferred initial therapy. Early recognition and standardized imaging protocols are vital for improved outcomes.
