ABSTRACT
A 40-yr-old woman received a series of three interlaminar epidural steroid injections for the treatment of axial neck pain secondary to degenerative disc disease. Immediately after her third injection, she experienced symptoms of a dural puncture-induced headache. This headache persisted on a daily basis for 3 mos, despite two epidural blood patches using an interlaminar approach, which was finally completely abated with a transforaminal blood patch. The headache was immediately relieved and remained alleviated through the follow-up interval of 1 yr. In this patient, a fluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural blood patch proved to be more effective than the classic blind interlaminar approach in the treatment of post-dural puncture headache.
