Abstract
RODRIGUEZ DE CASTRO, Amparo; MINAMBRES MATEOS, Javier; TELLO MARTINEZ, José and TELLO FUSTEL, Cristina. Headache from hypotension of cerebrospinal fluid. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2008, vol.2, n.4, pp.181-183. ISSN 2386-8201.
Intracranial hypotension syndrome is characterised by the presence of postural headache associated with low pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). According to the criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS, 1988), headache caused by reduced cerebrospinal fluid pressure is that which appears or worsens in less than 15 minutes after the patient stands up and disappears or improves in less than 30 minutes after the patient lies down again. We contribute the case of a 34-year old male patient with Secondary Intracranial Hypotension.
