The incidence of Post Dural Puncture Headaches (PDPH) is less than 1% with the use of fluoroscopy. PDPH typically occurs due to accidental dural puncture during initial epidural needle placement. We present a case of a 44 year-old male with history of aplastic anemia who presented with bilateral hand and lower extremity paresthesia with severe allodynia refractory to treatment. The patient experienced significant relief of symptoms after dual thoracic and single cervical SCS lead placement He presented with slow-onset headache after three days from cervical lead tip puncture. To date, there is a paucity of papers describing such an occurrence.
