Presentation
Here we present a case of PDPH treated with sequential EBPs that resulted in delayed radicular pain. CASE REPORT: A 29-year-old female presented to the emergency room with a severe frontal headache of several days duration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Pseudotumor
We have discussed potential reasons to perform a lumbar puncture (ex, Headaches, Pseudotumor cerebri, and Mollaret’s Meningitis ). [pedemmorsels.com]
Pseudotumor cerebri (also called idiopathic intracranial hypertension, or IIH). In this condition,pressure within the subarachnoid space is elevated for reasons that are not clear. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
[…] system malignancies and paraneoplastic syndromes Guillain-Barré syndrome Multiple sclerosis Neuroborreliosis Subarachnoid hemorrhage ( SAH ) Intrathecal administration of pharmaceuticals CSF pressure measurement Idiopathic intracranial hypertension ( pseudotumor [amboss.com]
My neurologist wanted to test me for Pseudotumor Cerebri as possibly being the cause of my headaches. I haven't heard the results yet. [mdjunction.com]
Just wish that work could see and feel what the pain is actually like after My son (15) has pseudotumor cerebri which is in remission. 6 days ago he was complaining of headache behind his eyes and blurred vision. [medhelp.org]
- Sepsis
Her evaluation included consultation with neurologists, hematologic testing for evidence of sepsis, and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain to rule out mass lesion or cortical vein thrombosis. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

- Asymptomatic
She was discharged the following day asymptomatic and remained asymptomatic at 3 days and 1 week later. Discussion The typical PDPH is frontal–occipital and may radiate to the neck or shoulders. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
She has remained asymptomatic since then and has been receiving treatment with interferon-beta for multiple sclerosis. [ajnr.org]
- Chills
I also had a spinal tap done by ER doctor on 2/17/16 to test for meningitis cause I had a fever of 102, chills and it felt like my head was about to explode! [medhelp.org]
- Crying
I lay each time crying. Cause no one has found out what to do. I had CT scans. Blood drawns, pelvic exam, and everything is negative. Im trying all options. [medhelp.org]

- Abdominal Pain
Headaches, abdominal pain, etc. Went to see my primary Dr. He told me there is no way all is related to the procedure. That I'm not trying to manage the day. I've had severe pain n my right leg. Could barely walk. [medhelp.org]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
It appears that CSF volume is decreased in the presence of systemic hypertension however it is still unclear if the CSF pressure in systemic hypertension is decreased as well. [eurekaselect.com]
We report a unique case of a spontaneous frontal epidural hematoma following a therapeutic lumbar puncture in a patient with a history of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hyperperfusion encephalopathies: hypertensive encephalopathy and related conditions. Neurologist 2002 ; 8 : 22 –34 ↵ Gobel H, Klostermann H, Lindner V, et al. [ajnr.org]
In addition, drainage of CSF can lead to symptomatic improvement in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension and normal pressure hydrocephalus. [amboss.com]
[…] cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, preeclampsia, migraine headache, and cortical vein thrombosis. 4,5 Although preeclampsia and meningitis are included in the differential diagnosis of PDPH, these possibilities were unlikely because of the lack of hypertension [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
- Thrombosis
Because of the patient’s complaint of increasing severity of the headache in the supine position and lack of response to epidural blood patch, cortical vein thrombosis was again considered. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

Fetus
- Spontaneous Rupture of Membranes
Case Report A healthy 19-yr-old term parturient (gravida II, para 0) was admitted to the hospital in active labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes. She requested epidural analgesia. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
Eyes
- Photophobia
[…] pediatrics is similar – 25% [ Leblanc, 2005 ] Diagnostic Criteria Headache that increases w/in 15 min of standing, improves w/in 15 min of lying down, and has ONE of the following AND also fulfills the remaining criteria: Neck stiffness Tinnitus Hyperacusis Photophobia [pedemmorsels.com]
[…] following criteria ( IHS 2004 ): Occurs after dural puncture, Develops within 5 days of LP, Worsens within 15 minutes after sitting or standing and improves within 15 min after lying down and is associated with either neck stiffness, tinnitus, hypoacusia, photophobia [coreem.net]
She denied vomiting, photophobia, tinnitus, or symptoms of cranial nerve involvement. Physical examination and vital signs were within normal limits. A diagnosis of PDPH was made. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
On 80% of patients with PDPH either of neck stiffness, nausea, or photophobia was observed ( Figure 4 ). Figure 3: Severity of headache among patients who developed PDPH in GUH from February 25-April 10, 2013. [omicsonline.org]
On the third day, she experienced severe postural headaches (not associated with neck rigidity, photophobia, nausea, or emesis), and a PDPH was diagnosed. [ajnr.org]
- Blurred Vision
Visual changes (photophobia, diplopia, blurred vision) and auditory changes (hyperacusis, vertigo, tinnitus, ataxia, hearing loss) are not uncommon 8. [apicareonline.com]
Just wish that work could see and feel what the pain is actually like after My son (15) has pseudotumor cerebri which is in remission. 6 days ago he was complaining of headache behind his eyes and blurred vision. [medhelp.org]
- Visual Impairment
When the headache is not postural, accompanied by cranial nerve effects, stiff neck, fever or visual impairment, it is important to exclude other conditions. [tidsskriftet.no]
Ears
- Tinnitus
Tinnitus is probably due to a cochlear dysfunction, and presents special characteristics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Post Lumbar Puncture Headache Caffeine Taurate Magnesium Tinnitus the long-term course of migraine with aura (MA) has been poorly explored. [emergingindustries.eu]
Psychiatrical
- Fear
CONCLUSIONS: Fear of the procedure does not predispose to occurrence of post-LP headache while a history of headache and elevated intracranial pressure does. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Knowing what to expect relieves some of the fear. Have someone drive you to your appointment so you don’t have to drive home. Even if you’re not in pain, you may feel woozy or “off” from nervousness. [thedailyheadache.com]
[…] precisely understand: 1) PDPH is a self-terminating process; 2) many medical procedures can alleviate and treat PDPH; 3) active cooperation with clinicians will promote resolution; 4) keep normal diet; and 5) think solutions with faith but not with fear [intechopen.com]
Neurologic
- Headache
Certain factors contribute to the development of headache after lumbar puncture. If these factors are taken into consideration, the incidence of headache could be markedly reduced. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Meningism
CONCLUSION: PLPH is related to increased Gd-DTPA enhancement of the meninges, although the increase in enhancement during PLPH is minor in most cases. Pronounced enhancement of the meninges after lumbar puncture may predict long duration of the PLPH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is enterovirus season – and with that comes viral (aseptic) meningitis. Now you may argue (correctly) that you don’t need to do an LP if your pre-test probability for bacterial meningitis is low. [pemcincinnati.com]

Well my eye doctor also ordered an MRI with contrast and he also had them to check my orbits (I have glaucoma too) I worked in pain management for 6 years and I remembered that some patients came in for Occipital neuralgia, I looked up the cause and symptoms [medhelp.org]
- Paresthesia
Other symptoms that may be associated with PLPH include nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, diplopia, cranial nerve palsies and paresthesia of the scalp, and upper or lower limb pain. [karger.com]
We observed no significant difference in the risk of paresthesia, backache, severe PDPH and any headache between traumatic and atraumatic needles. [spinalcsfleak.org]

Treatment
PDPH 24 hours after treatment, classified on a 4-point scale (no, mild, moderate, severe) is the primary outcome. The secondary outcome is the presence of PDPH 7 days after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment with EDBP is not an option during the study period of 7 days, not even when conservative treatment fails. Outcomes The primary outcome is whether or not headache is present at 24 hours after the start of treatment. [bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com]
However, because the treatment of PDPH with cosyntropin is noninvasive and may be beneficial, we believe it should be considered in the treatment of PDPH. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
Prognosis
In this setting, a trigger factor, such as an increase in systemic blood pressure, generates segmental vasogenic edema. 2, 4 Despite the good overall prognosis, this condition is not completely benign because of the potential for bleeding into the lesion [ajnr.org]

History and epidemiology First epidural blockade was reported by an American physician Dr. James Leonard Corning in 1885 [ 26 ]. The actual history of spinal anesthesia can be traced back to 1888 by German physician Dr. [intechopen.com]
Pathophysiology
This article outlines the pathophysiology and incidence of headaches related to lumbar punctures in the pediatric oncology setting and reviews the evidence from research trials to suggest which interventions clinicians should adopt into their practice [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology leading to headache is thought to be persistent leakage of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from the puncture site causing low CSF pressure and volume ( Bezov 2010 ). [coreem.net]
Prevention
In terms of the prevention and treatment of post-LP headaches, both are equally important in management. Following, is a discussion of which techniques and preventative measures are evidence based and which are not. [foamem.com]
This narrative review explores the literature to determine strategies for preventing headache and provide evidence-based nursing care to adults with post-lumbar puncture headache. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
