Atypical presentations include parkinsonism, dementia, hypopituitarism, seizures, and coma. Symptoms are typically reversible with normalization of CSF pressure. Spinal symptoms including radicular symptoms and quadriparesis are rare. [neupsykey.com]

The CT scan is the frontline imaging workup for headache, excepted the presence of the subdural hematoma, this exam can be easily interpreted as being unremarkable. [omicsonline.org]

See Workup for more detail. Management The goal is to preserve optic nerve function while managing increased ICP. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment is aimed at preventing permanent visual loss and includes treatment with medicines. Brain surgery (neurosurgery) may also be used. For many people, a combination of medical and surgical treatment can help to control their symptoms well. [patient.info]

In most cases, epidural blood patch is the main treatment; however, bilevel or multilevel epidural injections are gaining some momentum as treatment for selected cases. [journals.lww.com]

Treatment and prognosis A non-targeted epidural blood patch is often used in cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension, on the assumption that the leak is from the spine, with variable success 9. [radiopaedia.org]

What is the outlook (prognosis)? It is essential to detect idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) early and to start treatment early to prevent permanent loss of vision occurring. [patient.info]
