Abstract
We present the case of a 45-year-old man who underwent intracranial pressure monitoring for postural headaches. ICP results were unexpected with crescendo of overnight pressures and sudden drops. A diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing, in the form of obstructive sleep apnoea was suspected. Sleep-disorderd breathing is known to cause rise in ICP [1-3]. We discuss the importance of identifying OSA as a potential cause of headaches, and ICP wave forms that may suggest a potential diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea. Keywords: intracranial pressure; intracranial pressure monitoring; obstructive sleep apnoea; sleep-disordered breathing.
