Bilateral subdural hematomas from spontaneous intracranial hypotension
Bilateral subdural hematomas from spontaneous intracranial hypotension
FLAIR image on brain MRI (A) shows bilateral hyperintense subdural hematomas (arrows) that compress underlying cerebral cortex. Axial post-contrast T1-weighted image (B) shows uniform enhancement of the dura (arrowheads). Sagittal post-contrast T1-weighted image (C) shows diffuse dural enhancement (dashed arrows), pituitary hyperemia (circle), and brain sagging, suggestive of intracranial hypotension.
FLAIR: fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
