Epidural analgesia is widely used in modern obstetric practice. Complications are uncommon but if they occur may result in significant morbidity. Post dural puncture headache (PDPH), in particular, may be particularly incapacitating especially if left untreated. In this report we describe the management of a case of unrecognised and undiagnosed PDPH.
