Abstract EN
The developments of new spinal needles and needle tip designs have reduced the incidence of postdural puncture headache (PDPH).
Although it is clear that reducing the loss of CSF leak from dural puncture reduces the headache, there are areas regarding the pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of PDPH that remain controversial.
Air travel by itself may impose physiological alteration in central nervous system that may be detrimental to patients with PDPH.
This case report highlights a case of a young female patient who suffered from a severe incapacitating PDPH headache during high-altitude flight with a commercial jet.
