Abstract

Spinal Anesthesia is the technique of choice for segmentary caesarean section, complications are rare but fatal, including intracranial hematoma, which is often confused with post-dural puncture headache, and the pathophysiology is due to tension and tear of the meningeal vessels. We present a case of a patient who underwent a segmentary caesarean section who initially behaved like a post-dural puncture headache and after the blood patch, she was crucified and neurological signs were associated, when they performed a computerized axial tomography showing chronic left subdural hematoma that required surgical resolution; The clinical evolution of the patient was satisfactory, however it can be concluded that these patients must be strictly followed up by specialized personnel for this function.
