Case Report: Pneumocephalus after labor epidural anesthesia
Lumbar epidural anesthesia is commonly used for labor analgesia. The 'loss-of- resistance' to air technique (LORA) is generally employed for recognition of the epidural space. One of the rare complications of this technique is pneumocephalus (PC). Here we describe the case of a parturient who developed a frontal headache when locating the epidural space using LORA. On the second day after epidu...

متن کاملPneumocephalus and Pneumorrhachis after Spinal Surgery: Case Report and Review of the Literature

After spinal surgery, occurrence of pneumocephalus, especially with pneumorrhachis, is extremely rare. We report the case of a patient who developed pneumocephalus and pneumorrhachis after lumbar disc surgery and pedicle screw fixation. There was no cerebrospinal ...
