Differential diagnosis includes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypovolemia and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The pathomechanism of orthostatic headache due to POTS is still unknown. We performed RI cisternography in 6 POTS patients. All cases showed low CSF pressure. POTS accompanies sympathetic overactivity, which may be a cause of low CSF pressure.
