Abstract
|
|
|
|
Orthostatic headache is the major manifestation of low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure due to CSF leak. A 34-year-old man came to our clinic due to orthostatic headache. CSF opening pressure was normal (160 mmCSF). However, Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement and cisternography revealed CSF leakage at the level of cervicothoracic junction. After the epidural blood patching, headache subsided. The present case demonstrated that normal CSF pressure should not discourage clinicians from investigating a source of CSF leak.
