Abstract
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a complication associated with spinal and epidural anesthesia, characterized by a very severe dull, non-throbbing positional headache along with nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. The aim of this study was to compare positional character of PDPH, where the effects of prone and supine positions during surgery were compared for the risk of the headache.
