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]

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
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]
METHODS: The incidence of PLPH and other general (subdural hematoma, meningitis, encephalitis) or local (local pain, spinal hematoma, local infection) complications was evaluated in 1,089 consecutive patients (aged 23-89 years) who underwent lumbar puncture [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The leakage of CSF produces traction on the brain and the meninges and causes compensatory cerebral vasodilatation resulting in a headache. [eurekaselect.com]
A decreased hydrostatic pressure in the subarachnoid space then leads to traction to the meninges with associated symptoms. [en.wikipedia.org]
- Recurrent Headache
However, there was report showing that patients had a history of chronic or recurrent headache has more chance in nearly 60% to develop PDPH than those without such a history [ 62 ]. [intechopen.com]
I spend a great deal of time resting during the day to relieve recurrent headaches and am fatigued. [medhelp.org]

But after 10 days of excruciating headaches and now 4 weeks later I have the same symptoms you described. [medhelp.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]
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]
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]

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]

The etiology is unknown but it is thought that the lumbar puncture allows a small cerebrospinal fluid leak to occur causing intracranial hypotension, downward sagging of the brain and subsequent pulling on the pain sensitive meninges and large blood vessels [pediatriceducation.org]

Pathophysiology
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]
