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

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 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 patients showed persistent symptoms of autonomic dysfunction after treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension and orthostatic intolerance was confirmed with head-up tilt table test. Conclusions: Patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension failing to improve following epidural blood patching should be evaluated for orthostatic intolerance.Ankita Ghosh MDYen X.
