AB  - Summary: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension in a 37-year-old man with intractable headaches was diagnosed on MR imaging. A generous CSF leak was identified at C2 on CT myelography. Successful treatment was performed with CT-guided blood patch at the leakage site after the patient had failed 2 lumbar blood patches. Imaging-guided precise placement of the blood patch is safe and recommended when a lumbar blood patch away from the leakage site could be ineffective.
