Cervical Myelopathy Caused by Engorged Epidural Cervical Plexus Associated with Iatrogenic Intracranial Hypotension br

Teaching Point: Iatrogenic overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid may cause intracranial hypotension with secondary engorgement of the epidural venous plexus, resulting in potentially reversible compression radiculopathy or myelopathy

Automated summary

Iatrogenic overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid may lead to intracranial hypotension and subsequent engorgement of the epidural venous plexus, potentially causing reversible compression radiculopathy or myelopathy.
