Subdural haematoma following spinal anesthesia for cesarean section

Abstract

Intracranial subdural haematoma is an exceptionally rare complication of spinal anesthesia. A 30 year old pregnant woman was scheduled for an emergency cesarean section. Spinal anesthesia was induced using a 25-gauge needle with an atraumatic bevel. Two days after spinal anesthesia, the patient complained of a typical post-dural puncture headache. Despite oral analgesic, fluid therapy and bed rest, the headache persisted and neurologic complaints accompanied, a MRI was performed and a 2 cm subdural haematoma in the left parietal region was determined. Prolonged headache should be regarded as a warning sign of intracranial subdural haematoma.
