Abstract
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a highly disabling but treatable secondary cause of headache. Recent progress in neuroradiological techniques has catalysed understanding of its pathophysiological basis and clinical diagnosis, and facilitated the development of more effective investigation and treatment methods. A UK-based specialist interest group recently produced the first multidisciplinary consensus guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of SIH. Here, we summarise a practical approach to its clinical and radiological diagnosis, symptomatic and non-targeted interventional treatment, radiological identification of leak site and targeted treatment of the leak once it has been localised.
