Abstract
- We performed the autologous epidural blood patch (AEBP) for the relief of headache and other related symptoms following dural punctures of the lumbar region during 8 years from 1981 to 1988. The total of 37 patients with the patching consisted of 9 cases in 3007 of spinal anesthesia, 12 accidental dural punctures in 4283 cases of lumbar epidural anesthesia, 12 cases in 4747 of epidural analgesia' for back pain control, 3 cases of myelography and a case of diagnostic lumbar puncture. The headaches were relieved completely in 35 cases following the first AEBP and the remaining two were also relieved following the second AEBP. We think that the AEBP for postdural-puncture headache is the treatment of choice.
