Postdural puncture headache is a challenging complication of diagnostic, therapeutic, and unintentional lumbar puncture.

The purpose of this retrospective chart review is to describe the use of intravenous cosyntropin for refractory pediatric postdural puncture headache at a single free-standing tertiary care pediatric hospital.
