Neurol 64:1282-1284, Schievink,W.I.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The outcome of spontaneous intracranial hypotension has been unpredictable. The results of initial MRI were correlated to outcome of treatment in 33 patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. A good outcome was obtained in 25 (97%) of 26 patients with an abnormal MRI vs only 1 (14%) of 7 patients with a normal MRI (p = 0.00004). These findings how that normal initial MRI is predictive of poor outcome in spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
