When managing therapy for the post-lumbar puncture headaches (PLPHs), an efficacious, fast-acting, practical and safe method is preferred. Invasive methods have known complications and oral medications might be problematic when nausea and vomiting occurs with severe headaches. The aim of this study
OBJECTIVE
The occurrence of concomitant intracranial pathology in a patient with postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is rare. We present a patient who had a superior sagittal sinus thrombosis in addition to his PDPH. The signs and symptoms of intracranial pathology in patients with dural puncture
The incidence of postdural puncture headache, its severity, time of onset and duration following spinal anaesthesia in female subjects using 25 gauge Quincke needles are discussed in this paper. Postdural puncture headache was seen in only 3% of the cases. The headache appeared mainly on the 1st
BACKGROUND
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a known complication of diagnostic lumbar puncture. Multiple factors including needle size, type, and needle bevel orientation, have been postulated to contribute to the development of PDPH. The presentation of PDPH tends to have classic symptoms that
BACKGROUND
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) lacks a standard evidence-based treatment. A patient treated with neostigmine for severe PDPH prompted this study.
METHODS
This randomized, controlled, double-blind study compared neostigmine and atropine (n = 41) versus a saline placebo (n = 44) for
BACKGROUND
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) after lumbar puncture (LP) is as common in children as adults. 22G needles are routinely used in adults and children for diagnostic/therapeutic LP, in contrast to 25G or less as standard for spinal anesthesia. We sought to identify incidence of PDPH and
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of side-effects in patients bearing a high risk of post dural puncture headache (PDPH) when a spinal anaesthesia was performed. This included outpatients, patients for sectio caesarea and patients younger than 40 years who were mobilized
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the analgesic and antiemetic efficacy of gabapentin or ergotamine/caffeine (Cafergot), in addition to conservative treatment consisting of bed rest and adequate fluid intake, for the treatment of postdural puncture headache (PDPH).
METHODS
In this randomized, prospective,
BACKGROUND
Post-dural (post-lumbar or post-spinal) puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most common complications of diagnostic, therapeutic or inadvertent lumbar punctures. Many drug options have been used to prevent headache in clinical practice and have also been tested in some clinical
OBJECTIVE
The differences between epidural (EA) and spinal (SA) anesthesia that can affect maternal satisfaction are the procedures, quality of anesthesia and postoperative events. Dominantly, postoperative events such as postdural puncture headache, pruritus and nausea or vomiting after spinal
OBJECTIVE
Intracranial subdural hematoma is a rare complication following spinal anesthesia. The diagnosis is usually difficult because initial symptoms are the same of post-dural puncture headache. The objective was to report a case of early diagnosed subdural hematoma after spinal anesthesia
BACKGROUND
Lidocaine has been used for spinal anaesthesia since 1948, seemingly without causing concern until recently. This study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of performing anorectal surgery in outpatient settings with low hypobaric lidocaine doses.
METHODS
Three groups of 50 patients,
Spinal anesthesia is a common anesthesia method and post dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of its most common adverse effects. Gabapentin is a popular anticonvulsant drug that has been used as an oral nonopioid analgesic in recent years. In this placebo-controlled double-blind study, 120
OBJECTIVE
The combined spinal and epidural (CSE) technique can reduce or eliminate some of the disadvantages of spinal and epidural anesthesia, while still preserving their advantages. CSE anesthesia is now commonly performed with a single-segment needle-through-needle technique; however, this
BACKGROUND
In total hip replacement surgery several anesthesiological techniques can be used. In this study we compared continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) and postoperative analgesia vs. single-shot spinal anesthesia (SPA) and postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine
