Popis: There are many causes for headaches after childbirth. Even though postdural puncture headache (PDPH) has to be considered in a woman with a history of difficult epidural anaesthesia, pre‐eclampsia should always be excluded as an important differential diagnosis. We report a case with signs of late‐onset pre‐eclampsia where administration of an epidural blood patch (EBP) was associated with eclampsia. A hypothetical causal relationship between the EBP and seizures was discarded on the basis of evidence presented in this report. Br J Anaesth 2003; 90: 247-50
