Headache is a common chief complaint among patients. When presented with this chief complaint, clinicians often form a differential diagnosis of common etiologies, including dehydration, increased stressors, and medication side effects. However, a skillful clinician must always be vigilant of rare etiologies presenting with common chief complaints. Here, we present a rare case of a cerebrospinal fluid leak in a young female presenting with primary symptoms of headache, neck stiffness, and vision changes.
头痛是患者常见的主要诉求。当面对这一主要诉求时，临床医生通常会对常见病因进行鉴别诊断，包括脱水、压力源增加和药物副作用。然而，经验丰富的临床医生必须始终警惕以常见主要诉求出现的罕见病因。在此，我们报告一例年轻女性脑脊液漏的罕见病例，其主要症状为头痛、颈部僵硬和视力变化。
