  • The development of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) may not be related to cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure factors but may be correlated with weight.

Why this matters

    Understanding the causes of PDPH may help alleviate patient discomfort following diagnostic procedures for central nervous system (CNS) infections.
