Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an underdiagnosed disease. Its incidence is estimated at 5 per 100 000 persons per year. ⋯ The management of patients with SIH calls for complementary imaging studies to demonstrate the causative spinal CSF leak. Often, successful treatment requires surgical closure of the leak. In view of the sparse evidence available to date, controlled studies should be performed.
