Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an increasingly recognized cause of orthostatic headache but treatment strategies remain controversial. The epidural blood patch (EBP) is a well-known and widely used treatment in patients with conservative treatment-resistant SIH but symptoms may not improve even after multiple EBPs and resistant patients suffer from a lack of appropriate treatment options. Therefore, this study assessed the safety and efficacy of continuous epidural saline infusion (CESI) for SIH treatment.
