“…Exogenous bacterial sources such as contaminated equipment and solutions are becoming less common since the advent of single use devices. However, technical difficulty has been noted to be a potential source of exogenous infection [6]. In this case, three attempts were made with the same spinal needle raising the possibility of a breakdown in asepsis.…”

“…Despite the high incidence of headache as a result of dural puncture with a Tuohy needle, the anesthetist needs to think of a diff erent diagnosis, such as intracranial hematoma [10], intracranial tumors [11], pituitary apoplexy [12], cerebral venous thrombosis [13], migraine, chemical or infective meningitis [14] and nonspecifi c headache.…”

In this case report, a rare complication related to combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery is presented. The report covers the association of the unilateral recurrent abducens, and Hypoglossus nerve palsies in a patient with a clinical syndrome of intracranial hypotension at 3 and 4 years following combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean section. When ocular symptoms are present, an epidural blood patch may decrease morbidity or prevent the progression of ocular symptoms. Cranial nerve palsies following a dural puncture were reported previously and received wide coverage in the anesthesia literature. However, we believe that recurrent abducens nerve palsy was not reported previously.

Post dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of interventional neuraxial procedures. It carries a considerable morbidity with symptoms lasting for several days, sometimes severe enough to immobilise the patient. If left untreated it can result in serious complication which may be fatal. It is therefore important that the doctors should aware of the methods available for reducing the incidence of PDPH. This article reviews the scientific literature involved in the management of PDPH including the epidural blood patch.
