Post-dural puncture syndrome in an elderly patient with remote history of previous post-dural puncture syndrome

Abstract

History of previous post-dural puncture syndrome (PDPS) is a strong risk factor for another PDPS when spinal anesthesia is readministered to these patients. We herein report a case to show that this general rule may still apply even after the passage of 50 years. © Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica 46 (2002).
