    AbstractThis report describes a case of isolated postpartum seizures, in an apparently healthy woman who had suffered an accidental dural puncture during epidural analgesia for labour, and was on caffeine for relief of post-dural puncture headache. Investigation failed to determine the aetiology of the seizures. The possible contribution of dural puncture and caffeine toxicity are discussed.
