Sinus Thrombosis in a Patient with Intracranial Hypotension: A Suggested Hypothesis of Venous Stasis: A Case Report

We describe the case of a 26-year-old man with orthostatic headache. Cerebral angiography revealed thrombosis in the sagittal sinus. Spine MRI showed cerebrospinal fluid collection at the C1–2 level. We performed blood patch and the symptoms disappeared. We report a rare case of intracranial hypoten...

Zusammenfassung:	We describe the case of a 26-year-old man with orthostatic headache. Cerebral angiography revealed thrombosis in the sagittal sinus. Spine MRI showed cerebrospinal fluid collection at the C1–2 level. We performed blood patch and the symptoms disappeared. We report a rare case of intracranial hypotension caused by CSF leak and describe our hypothesis that SIH can change the velocity of cerebral blood flow and cause thrombosis.
