[Management of transient radicular pain after receiving an epidural blood patch for headaches due to spontaneous intracranial hypotension].

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension headache is an uncommon disease that resolves spontaneously in most of the cases and in a short period of time. The initial treatment should be symptomatic. In some patients the symptomatology is extremely disabling, and in these cases both the diagnosis and treatment may be performed by an epidural blood patch.
