CSF Hypovolemia vs Intracranial Hypotension in "Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Syndrome"
Neurol 60:941-947, Miyazawak,K.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Since some patients with SIH syndrome have normal CSF pressure and since a downward displacement of the brain due to a reduction of the buoyant action of CSF may induce symptoms, CSF hypovolemia, nor intracranial hypotension, may be the cause . Based on the Monro-Kellie doctrine, detecting leaked CSF and venous engorgement (epidural vein dilatation and pachymeningeal enhancement) is an important clue to diagnose so-called SIH syndrome. Dilatation of epidural veins suggests CSF hypovolemia in a ppropriate conditions.
