Brief Summary   Spinal anesthesia or subarachnoid block is the most preferred  choice of  spinal anesthesia for cesarean section deliveries as the risk of airway management is avoided and lesser risk of neonatal drug transfer.
post dural puncture headache [PDPH] is a serious and common complication occurring after spinal anesthesia. its incidence ranges from 1% to 36% and occurs mostly within 72 hours after the lumbar puncture is performed. the incidence of PDPH is attributed to CSF leakage through dural puncture site.
the changes in CSF pressure are reflected in optic nerve sheath which is a sheath like structure covered by a meninges and the CSF in subarachnoid space.
the authenticity of using a non invasive ultrasound guided measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter as a clinical parameter for intracranial pressure has been demonstrated.
the ability to predict PDPH can be used to avoid short and long term complications by timely interventions, especially in patients with higher risk factors.

in this study we hypothesize that in patients with multiple risk factors for PDPH monitoring for ONSD might help predict the occurrence of PDPH.
