AB  - The  epidural  blood  patch  (EBP)  has  been  used  for  the  effective  relief  of  postdural  puncture  headache  (PDPH)  for  well  over  50  years.1  It  continues  to  be  the  gold  standard  for  therapy  of  this  debilitating  condition.2-4  The  advent  of  spinal  and  epidural  anesthesia  during  the  early  twentieth  century  required  techniques  for  treating  PDPH.  The  risk  of  PDPH  was  recognized  from  a  dural  puncture.  Gormley  was  the  first  to  describe  EBP  as  a  therapy  for  PDPH  in  1960.5  EBP  was  not  widely  used  until  nearly  a  decade  later.6
