Abstract
A case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension syndrome is described. Computed tomography showed slit ventricles with tight basal cisterns. Prompt improvement of symptoms was achieved by intramuscular dexamethasone treatment. A follow-up CT scan demonstrated re-expansion of ventricles and basal cisterns.Keywords
