Spinal tape syndrome requires rapid diagnosis and adapted treatment. A relatively small diameter needle inserted parallel to the dura mata fibers is the best preventive measure. The ventral supine position for a few hours followed by a short walk is sufficient. Caffeine may also be prescribed and has been shown to be as effective orally or intravenously. For severe or persistent syndromes, the blood-patch is remarkably effective and simple to use.
