Headache is a common complication of regional anesthesia. The treatment of post spinal anesthesia headache varies depending on the cause. Although meningitis is rare, it can cause significant harm to the patient. Post dural puncture headache and septic meningitis are the most commonly suspected causes of post spinal anesthesia headache; however, other causes should also be considered.
