XXXX after treatment of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

@entity1 @entity428 @entity3791 @entity1829 @entity10 @entity551
Four @entity1 , aged 10 to 44 years, with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and @entity551 developed @entity428 after treatment of their CSF leaks. The leak was at the spinal level in all @entity1 (thoracic level, 2; lumbar level, 1; and undetermined, 1). One @entity1 responded to an epidural blood patch. Three @entity1 responded to surgery, of whom 2 had not responded to prior epidural blood patches. Treatment resulted in complete resolution of symptoms, including @entity10 and disappearance of magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities. However, all @entity1 later developed steady @entity10 different from their previous @entity10 . None had recurrence of magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities or any evidence of occlusion of cerebral venous sinuses. All had increased CSF opening pressures. One had bilateral @entity1829 , and another had no venous pulsations on examination of fundi. Follow-up was possible in 2 @entity1 . One responded well to treatment with @entity3791 , and the other improved gradually and was asymptomatic within several months.
