Introduction: One of the complications of subarachnoid anesthesia is post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), occurring in approximately 1.5% of cases, with a debilitating characteristic that is a primary cause of morbidity and leads to an increase in hospitalization days. Objective: To study the incidence of post-dural puncture headache in obstetric patients with cesarean section in a tertiary health institution. Method: This is an observational, analytical study carried out in a tertiary hospital, with a sample of 100 patients (3 cases). Two-part forms were used: the first described the participants, and the second collected data on their PDPH. The primary outcome was presented as the incidence of the condition, with 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Cases were described after results analysis. Results: Results were divided into: epidemiological variables; variables related to pregnancy, labor, and delivery; variables related to patients’ comorbidities; and those related to PDPH. Regarding the subarachnoid anesthesia procedure, the type of needle used was reported in 69% of the records, and the only model used was the bevel cutting needle. The incidence of PDPH was 3%, varying from 0 to 6%. None of the 3 puerperal women presenting PDPH needed a peridural blood plug. Conclusion: The incidence of PDPH in the study institution was higher than that described in the literature, possibly associated with the exclusive use of a dural puncture needle with a cutting bevel. Statistically, the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of patients with PDPH were similar to those of the group of parturient women that did not have...
