This study highlights the clinical and imaging diversity among patients with SIH due to CVF, challenging the reliance on classic orthostatic headache alone for diagnosis. The findings suggest the existence of distinct SIH subtypes based on clinical and imaging presentations, underscoring the need for comprehensive evaluation in patients with suspected CVF. Future research should further elucidate the relationship between clinical symptoms and imaging findings, aiming to refine diagnostic criteria and enhance understanding of SIH's pathophysiology.
