Pathologic Changes Associated with Intracranial Hypotension and Meningeal Enhancement on MRI
Neurol 43:2698-2700, Good,D.C.&Ghobrial,M., 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a patient with a six week history of postural headache due to intracranial hypotension whose MRI revealed findings typical of this syndrome,including diffuse meningeal enhancement following gadolinium infusion.Biopsy revealed extensive fibrocollagen proliferation in the leptomeninges without evidence of inflammation.The pathologic changes in this patient,which occurred soon after the onset of symptoms,are probably related to the striking meningeal enhancement seen in this syndrome.
