Postdural puncture headache in paediatric oncology patients

Abstract: Postdural puncture headache in paediatric oncology patientsPurpose: Previous studies have not determined the correlation between dural puncture and postural headache in paediatric patients. Furthermore, no studies have evaluated the correlation between atypical headache and dural puncture iri the paediatric population. Therefore, we prospectively analyzed the incidence of typical postdural puncture headache (PDPHA) and atypical headache in paediatric ontology patients following dural puncture.

“…Until the last decade, it was believed that children do not often develop PDPH, although recent studies indicate that young children may also develop it (3–5). When a child develops PDPH, symptoms are usually relieved with bed rest and mild analgesics.…”

“…There is evidence that supports the incidence of atypical headaches after an LP in adults (Flaatten et al, 1987) and children (Bolder, 1986;Burt et al, 1998;Ramamoorthy et al, 1998). Atypical headaches included tension and migraine types.…”

“…When these factors are modified (i.e., a small gauge needle is used rather than a larger gauge needle) in adult patients, headache pain has reportedly been reduced. In general, female gender (p < .05), large-gauge spinal needles (p < .05), history of general headaches (p = ns), and age of less than 50 years (p < 0.05) are associated with an increased incidence of PDPH in adults (Burt et al, 1998;Eriksson, Hallen, Lagerkranser, Persson, & Skoldefors, 1998;Kuntz et al, 1992;Raskin, 1990).…”
