Abstract
The MR monitoring of a patient with acute spontaneous intracranial hypotens ion successfully treated by epidural blood patch revealed strikingly differ ent time course of the initially concomitant cranial and spinal subdural fl uid collections. This undescribed feature suggested different pathophysiolo gical mechanisms for the disorder in the two locations and should be kept i n mind when imaging patients with the condition.
