Özet:

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension was first described by Schalternbarn. Severe complications like cerebral venous thrombosis and subdural hemorrhage are seldomly seen. A 40 year old men was examined for weakness of right arm started 9 months earlier and aggravated in last 3 months. He was undergo a lumbar punction because of a demyelinating plaque at C2 level in MRI. After 10 days of lumbar punction he experienced a generalised tonic clonic seizure. At kranial MRI and venography thrombosed superior sagittal and right transverse sinus and image of pachymeningitis, caused by intracranial hypotension were observed. Coincidence of these two situations together was seldomly found at literature. Thrombosis can both effect the sinuses and cortical veins. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a risk factor for CVT, but at only 2% CVT is seen as a complication. We think that our case can add addition to literature by having this coincidence.
