Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension and Subdural Hematomas Treatment Management Using MMA Embolization and Target Blood Patch: A Case Report
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Case Report
- T0:
- It is time zero, the first measurement of the test, with the patient in a supine position.
- T1:
- It is the second measurement of the test after the patient has been in an upright position for 5 min.
- T2:
- It is the third measurement of the test after the patient has been in an upright position for 20 min.
- T0:
- Headache NRS 2–3/10, with only slight occipital discomfort. FAB score 17/18, losing one point in the grip test. T1: Stable headache. FAB score 16/17, losing one point in the grip test and one point in verbal fluency. T2: Stable headache. FAB score 15/17, losing one point in the grip test, one point in verbal fluency, and one point in the Go-no-go test.
