Why do I get headaches after a lumbar puncture?

The lumbar puncture site takes the 3rd and 4th lumbar intervertebral space as the puncture point (the intersection of the two sides of the Ming dragon line and the vertebral spine line is the 3rd lumbar intervertebral space) for puncture. The cerebrospinal fluid needs to be taken for routine, biochemical, immunological, cytological and bacteriological examinations, the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid is measured, and sometimes drugs are injected into it for treatment. After lumbar puncture, lie down for 4-.6 hours with absolutely no pillow, and those with severe intracranial pressure need to stay in bed for 1-2 days to prevent low-pressure headache or other complications caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage. If you have symptoms such as headache, fever, etc., you should notify your doctor in time for treatment. What to do if a lumbar puncture causes a headache? The case patient, a 37-year-old female, suffered from headache, nausea, vomiting, and lethargy for 1 day, and was further diagnosed and treated with "the cause of the headache to be investigated". Lumbar puncture was performed in a routine operation. The intraoperative brain pressure was measured at 190 mm H20, the cerebrospinal fluid was clear, and 5 ml of cerebrospinal fluid was released for biochemical examination. The operation went smoothly.
