Postpartum headaches can signal serious issues beyond common causes. This case highlights a rare complication: bilateral subdural hematomas from epidural-induced intracranial hypotension.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Obstetrics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Postpartum headache is a frequent emergency department (ED) presentation.
  • While often benign, it can indicate life-threatening conditions like pre-eclampsia, stroke, venous sinus thrombosis (VST), or reversible cerebral vasoconstrictive syndrome (RCVS).

Observation:

  • The authors report a case of persistent postpartum headache.
  • This was secondary to bilateral subdural hematomas (SDH).

Findings:

  • The subdural hematomas (SDH) resulted from intracranial hypotension.
  • This was induced by epidural anesthesia during labor.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare but severe complications of epidural use.
