BACKGROUND: Although modern anesthesiology has made great progress in the last decades,rnNeuraxial anesthesia (NA) is still the keynote of regional blockade. It is popular for itsrneffectiveness in producing anesthesia and analgesia with neuromuscular paralysis. As the NArntechniques are used popularly in clinic and Hospital, Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH), arncommon iatrogenic complication resulted from post-spinal taps or accidental Dural puncturernsubsequent to epidural block, is frequently reported and becomes a challenging to healthrncaregivers.rnAlthough the problem has been widely reported verbally by the patients, its magnitude andrnassociated factors are not well being studied in our country. The aims of the study were to assessrnthe magnitude of Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) and associated risk factors with PDPHrnamong patient who underwent spinal anesthesia for orthopedic and urologic procedures in BlackrnLion Specialized Referral Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. From February 15 to March 15, 2016rnG.CrnMETHODS AND MAERIALS: An institutional based Cross Sectional study, was conductedrnfrom February 15 to March 15, 2016 G.C in Black Lion Specialized Referral Hospital, AddisrnAbaba Ethiopia.
