Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) occurs after a spinal tap procedure or an inadvertent lumbar puncture. It is a well-recognised complication of Labour epidural. PDPH is caused by leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal canal through the puncture site and results in headache, neck pain, and discomfort.
