ABSTRACT
Intracranial hypotension (IH) represents a syndrome secondary to low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. This case of IH following a lumbar drain inserted before the excision of a left intraconal lesion, leading to recurrent post-operative unilateral subdural and extradural collections, was treated successfully with the evacuation of the collection and simultaneous epidural blood patch (EBP) injection. Our report provides an important perspective on the management of IH with recurrent intracranial collections and reiterates that IH should be considered when dealing with recurrent unilateral intracranial collections in the post-operative period. Evacuation with a simultaneous EBP is an effective strategy for managing IH.
