Post Dural Puncture Subdural Hematoma: A Rare Iatrogenic Complication of Neuraxial Anesthesia.

Although post-dural puncture headache is a well-known complication of neuraxial anesthesia, subdural hematoma following epidural injection is a rare but potentially under-recognized complication. The following is the case of a young female patient with no significant past medical history who developed a persistent and severe headache following the introduction of epidural anesthesia for labor induction. Imaging demonstrated multiple small subdural hematomas with findings concerning intracranial hypotension. She eventually underwent a blood patch and reported immediate relief from her headache.
