Overview

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a debilitating neurological condition caused by leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the dura mater, the fibrous tissue that contains CSF, either through a dural defect, ruptured nerve root sleeve, or directly into a paraspinal vein (CSF venous fistula (CVF)).  SIH affects the dynamics of CSF and leads to a wide range of highly disabling clinical symptoms such as orthostatic headache (head pain, pressure), nausea, vomiting, changes in vision, dizziness or vertigo, changes in hearing, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a sense of imbalance, neck or shoulder pain, changes in cognition, and other associated neurological symptoms.  Many symptoms associated with SIH are orthostatic, meaning that they are worse in the upright position and improve when lying down.  Experts agree that symptoms and patient history are extremely important factors for a successful diagnosis. However, diagnosing SIH is often challenging due to the diverse range of clinical manifestations, limited findings through medical imaging, and the fact that a significant portion of patients exhibit normal results through conventional imaging.   Therefore, a careful review of patient history and specialized diagnostic tests are often necessary to diagnose SIH and localize the patient’s leak.

There is increasing understanding that identifying the precise location of the CSF leakage or CVF is necessary for effective treatment of SIH.  Although our understanding of SIH has increased in recent years and newer imaging techniques have improved to localize the site of a spinal CSF leak, misdiagnosis and/or underdiagnosis remain common.  Additionally, some of these techniques may not be available at non-specialized medical centers, leaving numerous patients with inadequate diagnoses and treatment. 

This webinar will delve into advanced myelographic imaging techniques which can be used to localize CSF leaks and CVF.  We will discuss how clinical history and initial neuroimaging can provide crucial clues in discovering SIH.  Additionally, seminar will provide an overview of treatment options.  These insights are synthesized within an algorithmic framework, intended to guide physicians in the systematic evaluation and management of patients suspected of having SIH.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the complex world of SIH diagnosis and management from a leading expert in the field Dr. Andrew Callen, neuroradiology, director of CU CSF leak program at the university of Colorado.  This presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Rebound Intracranial Hypertension (RIH) - A Complication of Epidural Blood/Fibrin Patching and Surgery (Treatment for a Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leak/SIH)

September 20, 2022

SPINAL CSF LEAK OF CANADA | 4:00 PM (ET)

Though rebound intracranial hypertension (RIH) is sparsely reported, it is not an uncommon complication of CSF leak treatment using epidural blood/fibrin patching or surgery. RIH is characterized by a postprocedural elevation of CSF pressure, resulting in a potentially severe headache, nausea, and vomiting, among other symptoms.  

Following treatment of a spinal CSF leak, patients that develop RIH will often find they have a reversal of their orthostatic headaches, meaning their headache is improved in the upright position and worse lying down. Many people find the location of the head pain switches from occipital to frontal.

Although RIH headaches following treatment of SIH have been recognized since the 1990s, much uncertainty remains regarding this complication, and the mechanism underlying the phenomenon remains unknown. Studies indicate its occurrence in about one-fourth of patients following treatment of SIH and that it is more common for patients with restriction of cerebral venous outflow. - Rebound high-pressure headache after treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension MRV study. Wouter I. Schievink, MD, M. Marcel Maya, MD, Stacey Jean-Pierre, PA-C, Franklin G. Moser, MD, MMM, Miriam Nuño, PhD, and Barry D. Pressman, MD. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1212/CPJ.0000000000000550

The function of CSF production and absorption in patients with a prolonged CSF leak is not fully understood. 

There is no consensus regarding the treatment of SIH and the timing to perform EBP.

Although RIH is often self-limiting, symptoms can at times be severe or persist well beyond the immediate posttreatment period. Because the symptoms of RIH may bear some similarity to those of intracranial hypotension and literature reports of RIH are limited, it may be mistaken for refractory intracranial hypotension, leading to inappropriate management. RIH headaches may complicate the treatment of spinal CSF leaks, and little is known regarding risk factors and best treatment options. - Rebound Intracranial Hypertension: A Complication of Epidural Blood Patching for Intracranial Hypotension. P.G. Kranz, T.J. Amrhein, and L. Gray. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2014 Jun;35(6):1237-40. doi: 10.3174/ajnr.A3841.

In severe cases RIH is accompanied by the presence of papilledema, however, in most cases, RIH is present without papilledema. This feature, in addition to the lack of diagnostic radiographic features, makes the diagnosis and treatment of RIH challenging for the experts and the medical community. It is therefore important to emphasize these difficulties to advance research, diagnosis, and treatment for this group of patients.  

This webinar will involve a panel of experts who will describe the differential diagnosis of RIH as well as potential treatment strategies and pain management. Panellists will discuss the need for increased awareness regarding RIH and will share their experiences with treating and management of patients suffering from this complication.

Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) – Diagnostic and Treatment Strategies for Chronic Iatrogenic Spinal CSF Leaks

 April 9, 2022

SPINAL CSF LEAK OF CANADA | 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET)

Orthostatic headaches caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak are a well-known complication from lumbar punctures and intrathecal catheter placements. They can also occur secondary to unintended dural perforation during the administration of epidural spinal anesthetic. PDPH is the result of CSF egress at the puncture site.

 In many cases, PDPH is a self-limiting condition. However, in some patients the condition does not resolve, and leads to a persistent spinal CSF leak with a debilitating orthostatic headache, widespread pain and other neurological symptoms. These symptoms mirror the symptoms in patients who are experiencing a CSF leak from spontaneous intracranial hypotension.  

The long-term, debilitating pain caused by chronic PDPH is often misdiagnosed and under-recognized. It has significant negative impacts on the affected patients’ quality of life. Knowledge of this condition is still sparse, with many medical professionals often believing cases are self-limiting.  The features of these types of leaks, including their ability to evade imaging differ from spontaneous cases. This makes the diagnosis and treatment challenging for the experts and medical community.  

It is important to emphasize these difficulties to advance research, diagnosis and treatment in this group of patients.  Most cases of PDPH can be resolved through appropriate diagnostic and treatment management, especially if undertaken early. Additionally, the prevalence of PDPH may be mitigated by use of specific types of needles during lumbar punctures and neuraxial anesthesia.

This webinar will involve a panel of experts who will discuss the clinical characteristics and long-term consequences of chronic PDPH, as well as diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes.  Panelists will discuss the need for increased awareness regarding the different needle types used during procedures that involve a dural puncture, and will share their experiences with treating complicated post-dural puncture headache patients.

NATIONWIDE EXPERT PERSPECTIVES ON ACCESS TO CARE FOR SIH/SPINAL CSF LEAK PATIENTS

June 12, 2021 SPINAL CSF LEAK OF CANADA | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a debilitating and often invisible medical condition resulting from a spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Under-diagnosis and/or misdiagnosis of a spinal CSF leak/SIH is common. Some patients experience the resolution of their symptoms without the need for care, but many require more definitive treatment including multiple patching procedures (blood and/or fibrin) and sometimes surgery. The diagnosis, treatment and care of spinal CSF leaks necessitate an experienced, multidisciplinary team requiring collaboration between neurology, neuroradiology, anesthesiology and neurosurgery departments. A multidisciplinary program model is needed in each Canadian province to properly assist in addressing the condition. Currently, such programs do not exist in Canada. Join us in a roundtable discussion format as our experts from across Canada: - Provide their perspectives on the diagnosis, treatment and care of SIH patients; - Highlight the challenges and limitations they face; - Explore potential developments and progress relating to better care for SIH patients; - Compare and contrast Canadian and American models; and - Examine how experts can collaborate to improve care for SIH patients.
