Abstract

Chronic headache is known to be aggravated by fasting and fasting even triggers headache among those not suffering from chronic headache. Headache is also aggravated during Ramadan in which The Moslem do not eat and drink anything or smoke from dawn to sunset for about a month in a year. But it mainly increases in people who are prone to headaches like migraine sufferrers. As far as we know there are no reports in specific headache syndromes pointing to precipitating factor of fasting. In this report, we present a 32 years-old man diagnosed as spontaneous intracranial hypotension, treated by conservative means and relapsed after fasting during Ramadan and we aim to discuss the possible underlying mechanisms of precipitation of orthostatic headache during fasting.
