Özet

The most common complication of spinal anesthesia is the postdural puncture headache. Any injury of the dura may cause headaches. After the injury of the dura, cerebrospinal fluid leakage may occur and subdural hematoma may be seen as a result of the increased tension in the veins between the cortex and the dural sinuses. Herein, we present a patient with persistent headache after the spinal anesthesia given during labor, and emphasize a rare complication of spinal anesthesia which is subdural hematoma.
