Résumé

Epidural "blood patch" (EBP) is a standard treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). In recent years, there are some reports of Racz catheter use for EBP performance at upper cervical spine levels. However, the practical use of Racz catheter for single-entry multisite EBP has never been reported until now. We treated a 60-year-old man diagnosed with SIH presenting with cerebrospinal fluid leaks from the cervical to the sacral segments. We discuss the advantages of the single-entry multisite EBP and the convenience of Racz catheter use in such cases. The Racz catheter can be a convenient means to deliver large-volume EBPs from a single entry point in the treatment of SIH.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Epidural "blood patch" (EBP) is a standard treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). In recent years, there are some reports of Racz catheter use for EBP performance at upper cervical spine levels. However, the practical use of Racz catheter for single-entry multisite EBP has never been reported until now.
CASE DESCRIPTION METHODS
We treated a 60-year-old man diagnosed with SIH presenting with cerebrospinal fluid leaks from the cervical to the sacral segments. We discuss the advantages of the single-entry multisite EBP and the convenience of Racz catheter use in such cases.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The Racz catheter can be a convenient means to deliver large-volume EBPs from a single entry point in the treatment of SIH.
