Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most common complications after spinal anesthesia. Postdural puncture headache is defined as a headache that begins 24–28 hours after spinal anesthesia with frontal or neck pain and grows over approximately 15 minutes after the patient sits up. Often, it is observed in combination with nausea and neck rigidity, and sometimes with photophobia, or defective hearing. Rates of PDPH varies by diameter and architecture of the needles used [1-3].
In pregnancy, women are at risk for the development of this headache because of female gender and young age. PDPH is occurred probably due to decrease in brain pressure caused by the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [4]. Blood patch is the golden standard
