Resolution of pachymeningeal enhancement is a radiographic marker for effective treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension: patient series
Diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement is a reliable marker for resolution SIH and often predates clinical resolution. Therefore, the authors propose that assessing for this characteristic with contrasted-brain MRI may assist in the posttreatment evaluation of patients with SIH. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25819.
