Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a well-known complication of the epidural block and usually treated by bed rest, intravenous hydration, caffeine and analgesics and epidural blood patch. The epidural blood patch is relatively safe procedure, but various complications have been reported including temporary paresthesia, back pain, subdural hematoma, intrathecal hematoma, neurologic deterioration due to increased intracranial pressure.
