Abstract :
Dear Editor, August Bier’s first report of spinal anesthesia in August 1898 impressively described the development of a postdural puncture headache (PDPH) (1). When asked for complications of spinal anesthesia today, patients often respond with PDPH. PDPH is defined as a constant headache that worsens in the sitting or upright position following lumbar puncture (LP).
