Idiopathic low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure headache is considered to be one that worsens within 15 min of sitting-up or standing-up, accompanied by at least one of the following: neck stiffness, tinnitus, hypacusia, photophobia and nausea. Several reports suggest that a substantial number of idiopathic low CSF pressure cases do not present typical clinical symptoms and that a considerable clinical variability exists. We report the case of an idiopathic low CSF pressure presenting as a cough headache.

Analysis of Risk Factors and the Establishment of a Predictive Model for Thrombosis in Patients with Immune Thrombocytopenia.

Clin Appl Thromb Hemost

January 2025

Department of Rheumatology, The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, The Affiliated Hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology, Yunnan Province Clinical Research Center for Hematologic Disease, Kunming, Yunnan, China.

Objectives: To explore the risk factors for thrombi occurring in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and establish a risk prediction model to better predict the risk of thrombosis in patients with ITP.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 350 ITP patients who had been hospitalized in the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province between January 2024 and June 2024. For all patients, we recorded demographic characteristics and clinical data, analyzed the risk factors for thrombosis in ITP patients and then developed a risk prediction model.
