Airplane flights triggering spontaneous intracranial hypotension: Observations from the Danish headache centre.
Vlasta Vukovic-CvetkovicHenrik W SchytzPublished in: Acta neurologica Scandinavica (2022)
This is the first report of a case series of four patients with SIH that could be related to airplane travel. Describing four cases (11%) is not proof but should alert us to a possible causal relationship, which calls for further research. We suggest that when taking medical history, thorough details about the patient's activities, such as headache onset, should be documented because of their importance in correctly diagnosing SIH, which is a debilitating, yet treatable, disease.
