SIH = spontaneous intracranial hypotension, MRI = magnetic resonance imaging, CVT = cerebral venous thrombosis, OP = opening pressure (cm H2O), CSF = cerebrospinal fluid, AC = anticoagulation, EBP = epidural blood patch, and AV = arteriovenous.
Location: SSS = superior sagittal sinus, RLS = right lateral sinus, ISS = inferior sagittal sinus, TS = transverse sinus, SS = sigmoid sinus, StS = straight sinus, CV = cortical veins, JV = jugular vein.
