We present a case of a post-dural puncture headache occurring 20 min after spinal anaesthesia using a 27-Gauge Whittacre needle. The unusually early occurrence of this complication is thought to be the first of its kind reported in the literature and highlights the novelty of this case.

Keywords: anaesthetic techniques, subarachnoid; complications, headache
