Abstract:
Intracranial hypotension syndrome is an uncommon manifestation of shunt overdrainage; characterized
by a triad of postural headache, diffuse pachymeningeal gadolinium enhancement and low cerebrospinal
fluid opening pressure. We describe a young female with recurrent episodes of postural headaches
and reversible dorsal midbrain syndrome due to intracranial hypotension as a complication of shunt
overdrainage, and a subsequent improvement following shunt ligation.
