ABSTRACT
We report a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension who developed severe neck pain after hard exercise. The pain was worse when the patient was standing and was relieved when he lay flat. Radionuclide cisternography demonstrated a central spinal fluid leak in the thoracic region of the spine. The syndrome resolved with conservative treatment. Although the most typical feature of spontaneous intracranial hypotension is postural headache, unnecessary testing can be avoided if we suspect this entity in the presence of cervical pain that worsens when the patient is upright and disappears or improves when he or she is lying down.
