Intracranial hypotension (IH) is caused by a leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (often from a tear in the dura) which commonly produces an orthostatic headache. It has been reported to occur after trivial cervical spine trauma including spinal manipulation. Some authors have recommended specifically questioning patients regarding any chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy (CSMT). Therefore, it is important to review the literature regarding chiropractic and IH.

An unusual postural headache: a case report
TLDR
This paper presents a case of an evolving unusual thunderclap headache that presented to a chiropractor with the evolving SIH being attributed to the chiropractic intervention rather than its true “spontaneous” nature.
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Following a Yoga Class: A Case Report
TLDR
This case, to the authors' knowledge, is the first report in the literature of spontaneous intracranial hypotension being caused by a Yoga class, and highlights the fact that some cases of SIH can be difficult to diagnose as their symptoms may be very confusing.
The risk associated with spinal manipulation: an overview of reviews
TLDR
It is currently not possible to provide an overall conclusion about the safety of SMT; however, the types of SAEs reported can indeed be significant, sustaining that some risk is present.
What are the risks of manual treatment of the spine? A scoping review for clinicians
TLDR
Existing literature indicates that benign adverse events following manual treatments to the spine are common, while serious adverse events are rare, and clinicians should ensure that patients are informed of risks during the consent process.
Adverse events following cervical manipulative therapy: consensus on classification among Dutch medical specialists, manual therapists, and patients
TLDR
A consensus-based classification system of AE is established which includes patients’ and clinicians’ perspectives and has three categories and clinicians and researchers may use this AE classification system to report AE in clinical practice and research.
Noninvasive Nonpharmacological Treatment for Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review
TLDR
This guide to treatments for low back pain, fibromyalgia, and tension headache can be helpful in finding the right treatment for individual patients.
The Kaleidoscope Model of Integrative Healthcare as a collaborative paradigm for cardiology and chiropractic: a call to action
TLDR
A model of integrative care for cardiovascular patients in institutional settings incorporating the doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) as a synergistic partner with the medical cardiologist coined the Kaleidoscope Model of Integrative Care (KM).
Tinnitus, Kopfschmerz und verdickte Meningen
TLDR
Anamnese Eine 69-jährige Rentnerin erkrankte vor drei Wochen mit einer Hörminderung rechts, einem Tinnitus and leichten frontalen and okzipitalen Kopfschmerzen, erfolgte die Vorstellung beim Neurologen.
Influencia De La Manipulación Osteopática Cervical Sobre El Flujo Arterial
TLDR
Revelar el cuerpo de conocimientos que the literatura cientifica recoge sobre the relacion entre la manipulacion cervical osteopatica y los posibles cambios en el flujo arterial carotideo es importante.

Intracranial hypotension syndrome following chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine
TLDR
It is stated that cervical spine manipulation should be considered a treatment with risk of neurological complications, including the occurrence of intracranial hypotension, following chiropractic cervical spine treatment.
Intracranial hypotension and abducens palsy following upper spinal manipulation

TLDR
In this case report, the authors did not use CT myelography or radionuclide cisternography for showing dural leak and fistula and mentioned that total spine MR imaging performed with myelographic sequences documented an arachnoid cyst of the third cervical root and suggested the presence of a dural leakage.
Treatment with Epidural Blood Patch for Iatrogenic Intracranial Hypotension after Spine Surgery
TLDR
A case of a 54-year-old man who was successfully treated with epidural blood patches for intracranial hypotension due to cerebrospinal fluid leakage into the lumbosacral area after spine surgery is reported.
Intracranial hypotension after chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine
TLDR
A case of intracranial hypotension ensuing after a spinal chiropractic manipulation leading to CSF isodense effusion in the upper cervical spine is reported.
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension: case reports and literature review
TLDR
It is proposed that this is an important cause of new daily persistent headaches, which is usually relatively easy to diagnose, and if recognised early, is eminently treatable.
Intracranial Hypotension Induced by Cervical Spine Chiropractic Manipulation
TLDR
This is the first case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension in which spinal chiropractic manipulation coincided with the development of symptoms and in which a CSF collection in the upper cervical and thoracic spine was demonstrated radiographically in Korea.
More complications of spinal manipulation.
TLDR
An unusual case of intracranial hypotension due to presumed dural tear, a heretofore unreported complication of cervical chiropractic manipulation is added.
Nonpostural Headache by Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
TLDR
A characteristic symptom of SIH is headache that worsens in the upright position and improves in the recumbent position; this headache can not be attributed to any known previous cause and it may be associated with other symptoms such as neck pain, nausea, vomiting, diplopia, tinnitus, vertigo, blurring vision, and upper limb radicular symptoms.
