The exact pathophysiology of headache after lumbar puncture is unclear. However, it is most probably related to the --hole-- in the left dura after the needle has been withdrawn,12 resulting in persistent leak of CSF from the subarachnoid space. This leakage results in a fall in intracranial CSF volume and CSF pressure.
