Spontaneous intracranial hypotension manifesting as a unilateral subdural hematoma with a marked midline shift. [PDF]
Case Rep Neurol, 2015 Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a syndrome in which hypovolemia of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) results in various symptoms. Although its prognosis is usually benign, cases with a rapid neurologic deterioration resulting in an altered mental status have been reported.
