| Abstract: | We report a parturient complaining of headache after spinal and epidural labour analgesia with neurological deterioration following an epidural blood patch. Further investigation revealed a medulloblastoma within the fourth ventricle. The patient underwent an operation 4 days after the diagnosis, but died 2 years later. The consequences of the use of neuraxial analgesia and epidural blood patch in the treatment of post-dural puncture headache in this kind of pathology are discussed. |
