Spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous/primary intracranial hypotension is characterised by orthostatic headache and is associated with characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings.


METHODS
We present a case report of a patient with typical symptoms and classical radiological images.


CONCLUSIONS
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an under-recognised cause of headache and can be diagnosed by history of typical orthostatic headache and findings on MRI brain.
