- Abstract: Positional headache refers to a headache that worsens or improves with changes in posture. It is often secondary in nature, associated with various pathologies that may have serious consequences if left undiagnosed or untreated. The authors report a patient who complained of severe positional headache and was diagnosed with concurrent reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome and vertebral artery dissection, thus highlighting the importance of considering such conditions in a patient with postural headaches.
