(D) Associated with photophobia # SPINAL HEADACHES may occur after a procedure such as a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia.> During a spinal tap (lumbar puncture), a sample of cerebrospinal fluid is withdrawn from your spinal canal.

If spinal fluid leaks through the tiny puncture site, you may develop a spinal headache.> Signs and symptoms> Spinal headaches vary in intensity from mild to incapacitating.
