To describe a rare case of spontaneous resolution of spontaneous intracranial hypotension following the formation of an epidural hematoma.
Report case of a 33-year-old female with spontaneous intracranial hypotension after chiropractic manipulation.
Utilized MRI to identify CSF leak at T2/3 and monitor hematoma formation and resorption during conservative management.
Confirmed persistent dural defect with computed tomography myelography after hematoma resolution.
The spontaneous epidural hematoma formed at T2/3, leading to resolution of the patient's headache.
Serial MRI demonstrated gradual resorption of the epidural hematoma without neurological deficits.
Computed tomography myelography confirmed cessation of cerebrospinal fluid leakage despite a persistent dural tear.
