Manyfactors to influence the incidence of PDPH one of which is the size ofspinal needle. The purpose of this research to know comparison theincidence of PDPH between Quincke 25G and 26G in patients with postsectio caesarea. In this cohort analytic study, 68 consecutive patients withpost sectio caesarea under spinal anaesthesia accordance to the inclusiveand exlusive criteria were included. Incidence of PDPH in the Quincke25G needle is 4 repondents (11,8%) and the 26G Quincke is 2 respondents(5.9%). With the most common sites of pain on Frontooccipital, andseverity were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
