Organic bipolar disorder occurring together with spontaneous intracranial hypotension

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.
