Intracranial hypotension (IH) is a disorder involving cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypovolemia due to spontaneous or traumatic spinal CSF leakage and is easily being misdiagnosed or missed, especially in these patients without the prototypical manifestation of an orthostatic headache. At present, the management of IH with both cranial nerve VI palsy and bilateral subdural hematomas (SDHs) is still unclear.
