Abstract:
Epidural blood patch is an effective management for treatment of severe post-dural puncture headache. Here we describe a case of a patient with hip fracture, who was complained regarded as having suspicious post-dural puncture headache after epidural anesthesia, but it failed to be treated with 4 times of epidural blood patch, and later was diagnosed with multiple metastatic brain tumor.
