Pheochromocytoma Mimicking as Post Dural Puncture Headache
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Headache following any spinal anaesthesia is unduly labelled as PDPH (Post Dural Puncture Headache). In depth analysis of the patient and the differential diagnosis will unmask underlying cause of headache. Here we are presenting an interesting case of headache which was wrongly labelled as PDPH which turned out to be pheochromocytoma after correct evaluation. Keywords: Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH), Pheochromocytoma, Cerebrospinal fluid
