Percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) is a known interventional technique for the management of spinal pain. As with any procedures, PEN is associated with complications ranging from mild to more serious ones. We present a case of intracranial subdural hematoma after PEN requiring surgical evacuation. We review the relevant literature and discuss possible complications of PEN and patholophysiology of intracranial subdural hematoma after PEN.

We report a rare case of intracranial hypotension that was complicated by a subdural hematoma following spine surgery. Intraoperatively, we did not notice any breach of the dura. However, the patient continued to have fluid leakage from the inferior edge of the lumbar incision. During revision surgery, a small dural tear was identified and repaired. It is likely that a small dural tear was overlooked or the dura was weakened during the initial operation and caused a subdural hematoma associated with intracranial hypotension.

Epidural blood patch (EBP) is one of the treatments for spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), and its complications have rarely been reported. We report a patient with SIH and developed intracranial hypertension after EBP. The mechanism of rebound intracranial hypertension was uncertain. If the patient presented with a different type of headache or newly developed neurological symptoms after treatment of SIH, rebound intracranial hypertension should be considered and the proper treatment needed quickly.

Recently with the development of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) techniques, many reports of radiologic findings in spontaneous intracranial hypotension(SIH) have been reported. However in our review, the pachymeningeal changes within spinal canal secondary to SIH are not reported. In SIH, same mechanisms of it might act in the intraspinal space, which cause pachymeningeal changes of spinal dura and clinical features of spinal involvement. We reports four cases of SIH, in which MRI of the brain and spine reveals diffuse symmetric pachymeningeal enhancement. This is the first report of the spinal images in SIH.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare cause of labyrinthine hydrops. The otologic symptoms of SIH include ear fullness, tinnitus, and hearing loss which can result from labyrinthine hydrops. We report a case of labyrinthine hydrops caused by SIH, confirmed by an audiometric impairment that occurred only when in an upright posture.

The management guideline for traumatic brain injury (TBI) recommends high-dose barbiturate therapy to control increased intracranial pressure refractory to other therapeutic options. High-dose barbiturate therapy, however, may cause many severe side effects; the commonly recognized ones include hypotension, immunosuppression, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, and prolonged decrease of cortical activity. Meanwhile, dyskalemia remains relatively uncommon. In this study, we report the case of a hypokalemic patient with severe rebound hyperkalemia, which occurred as a result of barbiturate coma therapy administered for TBI treatment.
