A 55-year-old woman had new onset of postural headache followed by change of mental status 3 weeks later. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and whole spine showed typical spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) findings, bilateral subdural hematoma, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage over the T7-T9. Her headache and mentality improved after epidural blood patches. Early recognition and correct diagnosis are crucial for successful treatment in patients with SIH presenting with mental confusion.
