Description Intracranial hypotension is usually associated with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak or excess shunting, and can rarely be associated with pneumocephalus.[2,3] Transient visual changes and optic neuropathy have been associated with various presentations of intracranial hypotension.[3,5] One mechanism termed the "inverted sodabottle effect" describes how loss of CSF can create a vacuum or pressure differential, resulting in air replacing CSF.[4,6]
