Case Reports[Headache due to idiopathic intracranial hypotension. Three case reports].
Headaches were classified in 1988 by the International Headache Society (IHS). Postural headache is related to intracranial hypotension, most often secondary to lumbar puncture. We report three observations where headache of unknown cause led to the diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

Case Reports[Acetaminophen-induced hypothermia, an AIDS related side-effect? About 4 cases].
Hypothermia is an uncommon side effect of acetaminophen. We report 4 cases of HIV-infected patients who developed hypothermia after intravenous injection of propacetamol (the parenteral formulation of acetaminophen). ⋯ AIDS-associated opportunistic diseases may account for part of the mechanism. These hypothermias occur within 6 hours after the injection, are well tolerated and regress spontaneously.
