A1 - Reina, Miguel Angel A2 - Hadzic, Admir Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Hadzic's Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management, 2e 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.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/09 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1141733688 ER -
