Abstract

Intracranial hypotension is an entity, which occurs with orthostotic headache and characterized with low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. The patient was 30 years old and 165cm height, 64kg weight female patient. She had complaints of headache that began from neck to the all of head, increased by standing up and developed at the first day postoperatively following spinal anesthesia. Diplopia, nausea and vomiting were also noted by the twelfth postoperative day. The patient was evaluated as intracranial hypotension. We believe that bed rest, hydration, caffeine and theophylline administration are effective medical treatment for non resistant intracranial hypotension

Spinal Anestezi Sonrası Gelişen İntrakraniyal Hipotansiyon

Abstract

İntrakraniyal hipotansiyon, ortostatik baş ağrısı ile ortaya çıkan beyin omurilik sıvısı (BOS) basıncı düşüklüğü ile karakterize bir tablodur. 30 yaşında, 165cm boyunda ve 64kg ağırlığında olan kadın hastanın spinal anestezi sonrası postoperatif 1. günde enseden başlayıp tüm başına yayılan, ayağa kalkınca artış gösteren baş ağrısı şikayeti olmuş. Olgunun postoperatif 12. günde bu şikayetine çift görme yakınması, bulantı ve kusma şikayetleri eklenmiş. Hasta intrakraniyal hipotansiyon olarak değerlendirildi. Dirençli olmayan intrakraniyal hipotansiyon tedavisinde yatak istirahati, hidrasyon, kafein ve teofilinin etkili bir tedavi yöntemi olduğu kanaatindeyiz
