One hundred and five children with malignant disease attended for lumbar puncture which was performed under general anaesthesia. A questionnaire was answered over the next three days to determine the incidence of post dural puncture headache Ninety-seven questionnaires were returned and the results show that no child aged under ten years developed a headache.
