Abstract
Intracranial hypotension is a clinical and radiological syndrome, manifested by a decrease in the volume or pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid caused by various reasons, one of the main clinical manifestations of which are orthostatic headaches. The gold standard in the radiation diagnosis of this condition is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Increasing the awareness of radiologists about this pathology, its manifestations on MRI, will allow more often to diagnose this syndrome and choose the tactics of further treatment. This publication presents its own clinical observation — a patient with intracranial hypotension syndrome, on his example, MR and clinical manifestations are considered, and some data on the etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms of the described pathological process are also given.
