Spinal and epidural anaesthesia-induced headache during pregnancy - what does this mean
Spinal and epidural anaesthesia-induced headache during pregnancy is caused by leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) from the epidural space into the subarachnoid space, leading to a decrease in csf pressure and a subsequent increase in intracranial pressure. this is a common complication of spinal and epidural anaesthesia during pregnancy, and is more likely to occur in women with pre-existing headaches or high intracranial pressure.
What happens during the disease - spinal and epidural anaesthesia-induced headache during pregnancy
Spinal and epidural anaesthesia-induced headache during pregnancy is caused by the spread of anesthetic agents into the epidural space or the subarachnoid space, resulting in a decrease in the amount of cerebrospinal fluid and an increase in the pressure on the spinal cord and brain. this increased pressure on the brain can cause headaches, which can be exacerbated by hormonal changes during pregnancy.
