Lumbar puncture headache is one of the most feared anesthetics complications due to its frequency and its intensity. In this study we asses the frecuency of this pathology in our obstetric
population and the incidence comparing the diameter of the needle used in spinal block. For this purpose we analyzed the total obstetric population that received spinal block for c-section in Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital, ASA I-II risk score from january to june 2012, identifying the diameter of the needle used Quincke 27 vs Quincke 25 and identifying those with post lumbar
puncture headache classified in the electronic medical record or well described with the criteria (headache that develops within 5 days after a lumbar puncture, that intensifies 15 minutes after
sitting or standing and disappears or diminishes within 15 minutes assuming dorsal position and has one of the following symptoms: nucal rigidity, tinitus, hipoacusia, photophopia or nausea; and that resolves spontaneously in the course of a week or adequate treatment of CSF leakage (blood patch).
