Abstract

We report four cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension that were investigated by radionuclide cisternography. $^{99m}Tc$-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid radionuclide cisternography of all our patients showed direct sign of cerebrospinal fluid leakage as well as indirect signs of less activity than expected over the cerebral convexities and rapid appearance of bladder activity. The headache of all patients was eventually controlled with bed rest and hydration.
