Intracranial subdural haematoma complicates accidental dural tap during labour

E K Sköldefors et al. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

A 19-year-old, healthy nulliparous woman developed an intracranial subdural haematoma after unintentional dural puncture in connection with epidural analgesia for labour pain. The haematoma was evacuated and the patient recovered completely. Anaesthesiologists and obstetricians should be aware of this rare but potentially dangerous complication to epidural analgesia.
