Brief Summary   Subarachnoid block is most commonly used anesthesia technique for cesarean section. PDPH is iotrogenic complication of spinal anesthesia. subarachnoid space can be approached from posterior aspect of vertebral body by either through median or paramedian approach. paramedian approach has been proven to decrease the incidence of PDPH. Whitacre needle has been proven to decrease the incidence of PDPH, Hence we decided to see the advantage of whitacre needle when used in paramedian approach compared to median approach. we planned to evaluate by combining the advantage of whitacre needle with advantages of paramedian approach to decrease the incidence of PDPH.
