Abstract

Obstetric patients are at higher risk of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) than other age- and sex-matched individuals. The debate over the long-term effects of PDPH continues. In this study, we aimed to assess the development of new-onset headaches or worsening of pre-existing chronic headaches in patients who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia and developed PDPH.
