Orthostatic Headaches Associated With Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension and Autonomic Dysfunction-A Case Series in Young Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Orthostatic headaches can be noted in spontaneous intracranial hypotension and orthostatic intolerance. We present a case series of young patients diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension and were treated for the same but subsequently developed orthostatic intolerance. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts for seven young patients with orthostatic headaches related to spontaneous intracranial hypotension and orthostatic intolerance. Results: Patients were diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Diagnosis was confirmed by identifying epidural contrast leakage and three of seven patients were noted to have early renal contrast excretion on computerized tomography myelography. Patients were treated with epidural blood patches. All
