All of the following are true regarding post spinal headache, EXCEPT
Correct Answer: Associated with photophobia
Description: (D) Associated with photophobia # SPINAL HEADACHES may occur after a procedure such as a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia.> During a spinal tap (lumbar puncture), a sample of cerebrospinal fluid is withdrawn from your spinal canal. During spinal anesthesia, medication is injected into your spinal canal to numb the nerves in the lower half of your body. Both procedures require a puncture in the tough sac (dura) that surrounds the spinal cord. If spinal fluid leaks through the tiny puncture site, you may develop a spinal headache.> Signs and symptoms> Spinal headaches vary in intensity from mild to incapacitating. The pain often gets worse when you sit up, stand or cough. H may decrease or go away when you lie down.> Spinal headaches are often accompanied by: Neck stiffness Ringing in the ears Sensitivity to light Nausea Hearing impairment
