Unique ID
D019585
RDF Unique Identifier

Annotation
do not confuse with
INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION
; coord IM with disease
/physiopathol
(IM) causing or caused by intracranial hypotension
Scope Note
Reduction of
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
pressure characterized clinically by
ORTHOSTATIC HEADACHE
and occasionally by an
ABDUCENS NERVE PALSY
;
HEARING LOSS
;
NAUSEA
; neck stiffness, and other symptoms. This condition may be spontaneous or secondary to
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LEAK
;
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)
