Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of obstetric anesthesia. There are still no convenient and effective methods to control the PDPH.

Case Presentation: Three cases of parturients with accidental dural puncture who suffered post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after labor analgesia or cesarean section.

Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a debilitating complication of neuraxial anesthesia, particularly prevalent in obstetric patients, usually characterized by a postural headache. PDPH is hypothesized to result from cerebrospinal fluid leakage through a dural puncture, triggering symptoms like neck stiffness and subjective hearing changes. While conservative measures are common for treatment, more refractory cases may require invasive interventions such as an epidural blood patch (EBP).

Despite advances in procedural techniques and equipment, postdural puncture headache (PDPH) remains a serious complication of labour epidural analgesia after accidental dural puncture (ADP). Often considered a temporary inconvenience, PDPH can be debilitating in the short term. It can also be associated with chronic manifestations and serious complications.

Labour analgesia is a crucial aspect of obstetric anaesthesia, aiming to alleviate pain during childbirth while ensuring maternal and foetal safety. Over the past decade, advancements in labour analgesia techniques have evolved, impacting initiation, maintenance, and outcomes. We emphasize the longstanding importance of epidural analgesia while recognizing the growing significance of combined spinal-epidural and dural puncture epidural techniques for labour initiation.

Background: Spinal epidural arachnoid cysts (SEACs) are rare, non-neoplastic pathologies that can cause compressive myelopathy. Preoperative identification of the exact fistula location is crucial for minimally invasive management.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 27 patients with SEACs who underwent "double-needle puncture myelography" to precisely localize the fistula before minimally invasive surgery.
