Transforaminal epidural blood patch.
Spinal headache is an occasional, but painful complication of epidural injection procedures due to dural puncture that allows leakage of CSF from the thecal sac, thereby reducing intracranial pressure. In the event of failure of conservative management, (e.g. abdominal binder, fluids, acetaminophen), an epidural blood patch is often used. This case report describes a patient with spinal headach...

Indeed, these women could be considered ‘treatment successes’, since they received analgesia sufficient to be able to continue childcare at home, headache-free at one week, without exposure to the risks of epidural blood patch. It follows that a similar proportion...
