Preferred Label : intracranial hypotension;
Definition : Reduction of cerebrospinal fluid pressure characterized clinically by headache which
is maximal in an upright posture and occasionally by an abducens nerve palsy (see
abducens nerve diseases), neck stiffness, hearing loss (see deafness); nausea; and
other symptoms. This condition may be spontaneous or secondary to spinal puncture;
neurosurgical procedures; dehydration; uremia; trauma (see also craniocerebral trauma);
and other processes. Chronic hypotension may be associated with subdural hematomas
(see hematoma, subdural) or hygromas. (From Semin Neurol 1996 Mar;16(1):5-10; Adams
et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp637-8) [MeSH];
