Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents with orthostatic headache. We hypothesize that positional changes, i.e. a decrease of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) occur from supine to upright position in symptomatic patients with orthostatic headaches. We performed an ultrasound study investigating whether there are positional changes in ONSD in symptomatic patients suffering orthostatic headaches. …
