Synopsis

Post dural puncture headaches are, more recently, being documented as a complication related to spinal cord stimulator placement. Dural compromise are usually appreciated prior to this condition's onset. A viable treatment for post dural headaches is epidural blood patches. Less reported in literature still, is the presence of post dural headache after leads removal from a trail spinal cord stimulator, when initial placement of the spinal cord stimulator was without noted dural compromise and tolerated by the patient well prior to its removal.
