Headache After Sealing of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension

Although the majority of patients showed improvement in the long run, important secondary headaches should be considered, namely medication overuse, rebound hypertension, and a persistent, reopened, de novo or second leak at another level.
