As its presentation is similar to post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), it can be misdiagnosed sometimes. Persistent headache for more than 5 days, vomiting, blurring of vision, and convulsion can guide the diagnosis of intracranial bleed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps to diagnose the location, size, and other abnormalities of bleed in such patients. The management ranges from conservative to surgical management in the form of craniotomy. Here, we present a case of a 19-year-old woman, who operated on for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia presented with SDH and intracranial hypotension on postoperative day (POD) 6. She was managed conservatively with plenty of intravenous (IV) fluids, bed rest, low head position, analgesics, and antiepileptics. A repeat computed tomography (CT) scan was performed after 14 days, which showed resolved SDH, and the patient was discharged.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/sja.sja_356_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]],"date-time":"2024-01-02T00:01:02Z","timestamp":1704153662000},"page":"114-116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intracranial hypotension with subdural hematoma after spinal anesthesia in obstetric patient: A rare but fatal complication"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Sujit J.","family":"Kshirsagar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, B.
