Methods: The databases were searched for articles published in English in 3 data bases [PubMed – Google scholar and Egyptian bank of knowledge] and Boolean operators had been used such as [Sphenopalatine ganglion block and post dural puncture headache] and in reviewed articles. Conclusion: SPGB is an effective initial modality for managing severe headache in patients with PDPH. | ||
