- W4383341105 abstract "Objective: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) remains a rare and difficult clinical entity to diagnose and treat. Epidural blood patch (EBP) of the dural sac is the mainstay definitive treatment for refractory cases and has mixed efficacy. We sought to evaluate the recent efficacy and outcomes of EBP for SIH at our institution. Methods: Twenty-three patients (14 women, 9 men, mean age 49) were seen and treated for SIH between Summer 2009 and Spring 2018 at the same institution. All patients underwent brain MRI with and without gadolinium contrast and T2-weighted spine MRI. Targeted EBP was placed one or two vertebral levels below areas of suspected leak, while the patient was positioned in the lateral decubitus position. Patients were seen in the outpatient setting within a week following initial EBP and repeat EBP was offered to patients with persistent symptoms. Patients were followed if symptoms persisted or for 6 months following clinical relief of symptoms. Results: 22/23 (95.7%) patients presented with complaints of orthostatic headache, and 3 (13%) patients presented with altered mental status (AMS) or focal neurologic deficit. Brain MRI demonstrated pachymeningeal enhancement in 16/23 (69.6%) patients, and 5/23 (21.7%) patients had a subdural hematoma (SDH) present. Dural leaks were successfully identified in 18/23 (78.3%) patients. 12/23 (52.2%) patients had symptomatic relief with initial EBP, and 5/23 (21.7%) patients received further EBPs for persistent disease with all achieving relief after repeat EBP. 5/12 (41.7%) of patients had recurrent symptoms after initial relief with EBP, and 4/5 (80%) were successfully treated with a second EBP. The mean initial EBP volume and number of EBPs per patient were 21.7 mL (median 20 mL, 7-40 mL) and 3.54 (median 1, 1-13) respectively. There was one complication from initial EBP (cervical dural tear requiring operative closure) treated with open surgical management successfully. In total, 18/23 (78.2%) patients are currently asymptomatic with regard to their SIH. The mean follow-up in this cohort was 2.6 years (median 1.8 years, 1.8 months-9.27 years). Conclusions: EBP is a viable and effective option for the treatment of recurrent SIH caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks." @default.
