Abstract

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is known to cause postural headache, often combined with auditory, and vestibular symptoms, nausea, vomiting, and diplopia. We report a 63-year-old male patient who for the first time developed a depressive episode followed by acute manic symptoms during the course of SIH, both relieved after treatment of the underlying organic disturbance.
