A case is reported of bilateral chronic subdural haematomas in a 29-year-old woman 1 month after childbirth under attempted epidural analgesia. The possible link between leakage of cerebrospinal fluid through a hole in the lumbar theca and the later development of an intracranial chronic subdural haematoma is discussed, with a review of eleven previous reported cases.
