The document defines PDPH according to the International Headache Society criteria and summarizes its prevalence worldwide and in Uganda. It outlines patient risk factors such as needle size, multiple attempts, gender, BMI, and prior headache history, and describes typical associated symptoms. Management options are detailed, including caffeine, cerebral vasoconstrictors, theophylline, triptans, ACTH, and epidural blood patch techniques with timing and volume considerations. Non‑pharmacologic approaches such as sphenopalatine ganglion block and atropine‑neostigmine are also discussed, along with differential diagnoses and potential complications.
