[Incidence of dural puncture headache after intradural anesthesia carried out by residents].

To evaluate dural puncture headache (DPH) after intradural anesthesia (IA) carried out by residents of anesthesiology and reanimation, and its relation with the degree of difficulty of the puncture, a sample of 81 patients with ages ranging between 48 and 88 years was evaluated. The incidence of DPH was 12.35%, and it was not statistically associated with age, sex, anesthetic approach, local anesthetic, or degree of difficulty of lumbar puncture.
