Abstract

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is uncommon and postulated to occur due to spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Subdural hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication of intracranial hypotension. With a paucity of high-level evidence to guide treatment, its management remains challenging.
