Headache is a common complication of lumbar puncture (LP). Although in most cases post-LP headaches are not severe and have a benign course, they can also be a manifestation of a potentially life-threatening complication such as subdural hematoma (SDH).
We describe a patient in whom a massive SDH developed after LP and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, which were performed during the diagnostic evaluation of freezing of gait.
SDH should not be excluded from the differential diagnosis of headache following LP, especially when there is a loss of CSF.
头痛是腰椎穿刺(LP)的常见并发症。虽然在大多数情况下,LP 后头痛并不严重且呈良性过程,但也可能是潜在危及生命的并发症的表现,如硬膜下血肿(SDH)。
我们描述了一例患者,在步态冻结的诊断评估过程中,在 LP 和脑脊液(CSF)引流后发生了大量 SDH。
LP 后头痛时,尤其是出现 CSF 丢失时,不应排除 SDH 的鉴别诊断。
