AB  - During a period of one year in which 609 spinal anaesthetics were performed, 
      seven men and eight women complained of post lumbar puncture headache (PLPH). 
      This form of headache was most frequently localized to the forehead and neck. The 
      maximal intensities of the PLPH were assessed as "7-8" on a 10 cm visual 
      analogous scale. All of these patients were treated with autologous epidural 
      blood patch (AEBP). A mean volume of 17.8 ml autologous blood (range 10-20 ml) 
      was injected into the epidural space. The injection was stopped as soon as low 
      back pain occurred. The effect of AEBP occurred after a latent period with an 
      average of two hours (range 0.5-6 hours). The effects of AEBP were indicated on a 
      five-point ad hoc scale as "complete" or "nearly complete" in 13 out of 15 
      patients. Relapse occurred in one patient. No significant adverse effects were 
      observed. AEBP is thus considered as a safe and effective form of treatment of 
      PLPH.
