Abstract
Primary intracranial hypotension is a spontaneous clinical syndrome ch aracterised by postural headache due to low intracranial pressure. The syndrome has a good prognosis. The symptoms improve spontaneously. A diffuse meningeal enhancement on MRI in patients with primary intracra nial hypotension was described several times, although the aetiology r emains unknown. The case of such a patient is presented and the possib le mechanisms are discussed.
