Abstract

Introduction: The syndrome of spontaneous INTRACRANIAL HYPOTENSION has been increasingly diagnosed since its discovery through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is a rare syndrome that is due to the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a TEAr in the dura and can occur at any age, even among adolescents, but is most frequently seen among females in late middle age.Case Presentation: Here, we describe a 32-year-oldwomanwith a two-month history of HEADACHEs and occasional nausea and vomiting (N/V). MRI without gadolinium was normal, but meningeal enhancement was seen in MRI with gadolinium. The lumbar puncture revealed a low opening pressure. Computed tomography myelography (CT myelography) showed no leakage; Therefore, idiopathic INTRACRANIAL HYPOTENSION was diagnosed. Treatment was started using TEA, and the patient’s HEADACHE got significantly better in about a day.Conclusions: Conservative therapy, such as bed rest and CAFFEINE treatment with eight cups of TEA daily, yielded a significant improvement in our patient. Effectively, the patient constitutes a case of idiopathic INTRACRANIAL HYPOTENSION due to undetectable CSF leakage or hyper-absorption, with good response to conservative management through TEA-drinking. Further investigations with an appropriate sample size are needed in order toconfirmthis intervention in the treatment of idiopathic INTRACRANIAL HYPOTENSION.
