AB  - Postural  headaches  following  interventions  that  disrupt  meningeal  integrity  are  most  commonly  labeled  postdural  puncture  headaches  (PDPHs).  This  terminology  has  been  officially  adopted  in  the  International  Classification  of  Headache  Disorders1  and  is  used  in  this  chapter.  However,  use  of  the  word  postdural  has  been  criticized  as  confusing2  and  probably  inaccurate,3  resulting  in  the  proposal  of  an  alternate  term,  meningeal  puncture  headache  (MPH),  which  readers  may  increasingly  encounter.4,5  It  is  also  important  to  acknowledge  that  references  to  “dural  puncture”  throughout  the  medical  literature  (including  this  chapter)  actually  describe  puncture  of  the  dura-arachnoid  and  are  more  correctly  termed  and  thought  of  as  “meningeal  puncture.”
