“…34 The incidence of PDPH in adolescents may be close to the PDPH incidence in adults with Scher et al reporting PDPH incidence of close to 20% in 26 patients with ages 10-18 (median 14) receiving a diagnostic LP. 35 The incidence of PDPH in younger children may be very low with Scher et al reporting a 0% PDPH incidence in 29 children with ages 2-9 (median 6). 35 However, the notion of low PDPH incidence in children was challenged by Kokki et al, who found that PDPH incidence was not age-related.…”

Post‐Dural Puncture Headache: Part I Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Etiology, and Pathophysiology

Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a frequent complication of dural puncture whether performed for diagnostic purposes or accidentally, as a complication of anesthesia. Because both procedures are common, clinicians interested in headache should be familiar with this entity. The differential diagnosis of PDPH is broad and includes other complications of dural puncture as well as headaches attributable to the condition which lead to the procedure. The patterns of development of PDPH depend on a number of procedure- and nonprocedure-related risk factors. Knowledge of procedure-related factors supports interventions designed to reduce the incidence of PDPH. Finally, despite best preventive efforts, PDPH may still occur and be associated with significant morbidity. Therefore, it is important to know the management and prognosis of this disorder. In this review, we will highlight diagnosis and clinical characteristics of PDPH, differential diagnosis, frequency, and risk factors as well as pathophysiology of PDPH.

“…Well‐designed, adequately powered, randomized controlled trials showing the efficacy of caffeine in PDPH are lacking 14 . Available studies are small and have methodological shortcomings 14,56,61 . For example, in the study by Sechzer et al, 41 patients were given 500 mg of caffeine sodium benzoate or saline intravenously (Table 2).…”

Post‐Dural Puncture Headache: Part II – Prevention, Management, and Prognosis

Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a frequent complication of lumbar puncture, performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes or accidentally, as a complication of epidural anesthesia. As PDPH can be disabling, clinicians who perform these procedures should be familiar with strategies for preventing this disorder. Since the best preventative measures sometimes fail, clinicians should also be familiar with the therapeutic approaches for PDPH. Herein, we review the procedure-related risk factors for PDPH, the prognosis of PDPH and the studies of PDPH treatment. We divide the therapeutic approach to PDPH into 4 stages: conservative management, aggressive medical management, conventional invasive treatments, and the very rarely employed less conventional invasive treatments and provide management algorithm to facilitate treatment.

“…In one previous study nine lumbar punctures were performed on children aged 13-17 years which resulted in seven cases of post dural puncture headache giving an incidence of 78% [7]. In another study 26 lumbar punctures were performed on children aged I s 1 8 years resulting in five cases of post dural puncture headache with an incidence of 19% [8]. These figures are widely disparate and the difference in age groups makes them difficult to interpret.…”

The incidence of post dural puncture headache in children

1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Summary One hundred and five children with malignant disease attended for lumbar puncture which was performed under general anaesthesia. A questionnaire was answered over the next three days to determine the incidence of post dural puncture headache. Ninety‐seven questionnaires were returned and the results show that no child aged under ten years developed a headache. Of the children aged 10–12 years, two out of seventeen developed a headache (11.8%). In children aged 13–18 years, five out of ten developed a headache (50%).
