VISUAL CHANGES IN A PATIENT WITH CSF HYPOTENSION SYNDROME
The CSF Hypotension Syndrome (SHL) or spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rare syndrome, characterized by decreased pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and postural headache. This report presents a male patient with SHL presenting systemic and ophthalmological symptoms, with transient visual blurring, headache and diplopia. The objective of this work is to present an atypical condition, thus contributing to the early diagnosis and treatment of the syndrome.
