Results of this study demonstrate a higher choroid plexus volume in patients with SIH with spinal CSF leak compared with age- and sex-matched healthy controls. This likely reflects compensatory mechanisms to counteract intracranial hypotension by increasing CSF production as well as increased vascularity of the choroid plexus through expansion of the intracranial blood pool.
