Abstract
Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of obstetric anesthesia. There are still no convenient and effective methods to control the PDPH.
Case presentation: Three cases of parturients with accidental dural puncture who suffered post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after labor analgesia or cesarean section. They were treated with epidural hydroxyethyl starch (HES) through an epidural catheter and achieved well therapeutic effect.
Conclusion: Treatment of PDPH by epidural HES is a promising method that may benefit the parturient and doctor.
