Linear indices of ventricular volume on brain computed tomography as markers of effectiveness of epidural blood patch for spontaneous intracranial hypotension: A case report.

Abstract

Epidural blood patch (EBP) is an effective treatment for spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, its effectiveness can only be judged through subjective symptom improvement; no objective markers have been reported. Linear indices of ventricular volume on brain computed tomography (CT) may aid the objective evaluation of the effectiveness of EBP in patients with SIH.
