Zusammenfassung

Das Liquorverlustsyndrom kann nach spinalen Interventionen, wie zum Beispiel Operationen und Punktionen, oder spontan (ohne erkennbare Ursache) auftreten. Durch ein vermindertes Liquorvolumen können intrakranielle Komplikationen entstehen, deren Spektrum von lageabhängigen (orthostatischen) Kopfschmerzen bis hin zu intrakraniellen Blutungen mit lebensbedrohlichen Zuständen reicht. Deshalb ist es wichtig, das Liquorverlussyndrom klinisch richtig einzuordnen, eine gezielte Diagnostik durchzuführen und die adäquate Therapie einzuleiten. Anhand der verschiedenen Ätiologien der Liquorverlustsyndrome und der Schwere der Befunde wird das diagnostische und therapeutische Management dargelegt.

Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) loss can occur after spinal interventions, such as operations or punctures, or spontaneously (without a known cause). The reduced CSF volume can trigger intracranial complications, ranging from position-dependent (orthostatic) headaches to intracranial bleeding with life-threatening conditions. Therefore, it is important to verify the CSF loss syndrome clinically correctly, carry out a proper diagnosis and initiate the appropriate therapy. Depending on the different etiology of the CSF loss syndromes and the severity of the clinical findings, the diagnostic and therapeutic management is described.
