Diagnostic findings in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Initial head-MRI revealed minor bifrontal hygroma (axial view, arrows) with diffuse dural contrast-enhancement as typical findings in a patient with SIH (Panel a). Subsequent whole-spine MRI (sagittal view) shows an extradural fluid collection (arrow) and an unidentified trans−/intradural mass lesion (arrowheads) at the level of thoracic vertebrae 12/lumbar vertebrae 1 (Th12/L1, Panel b). Finally, CT-myelography confirmed the suspected dural leakage caused by the unidentified trans−/intradural mass lesion (arrow) at the level of Th12/L1 (Panel c and d with sagittal and axial slices, respectively)
