Cervical epidural steroid injection: impact of cervical epidural anatomy.
To the Editor:—The case reported by Dietrich and Smith again demonstrates that performing steroid epidural injections under fluoroscopic guidance does not absolutely prevent perforation of the dura by the needle tip, because the needle is usually advanced before the next bolus of dye is injected. Measurements of skin to epidural space in magnetic resonance imaging films showed that the posterio...
متن کاملDelayed Pneumocephalus Following Fluoroscopy Guided Cervical Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection: A Rare Complication and Anatomical Considerations
Cervical epidural steroid injection is indicated for radicular symptoms with or without axial neck pain. Complications are rare but can be serious. Here, we report the case of a 54-year-old man with cervical radicular pain who was treated with cervical epidural steroid injection. Injection was administered twice under fluoroscopic guidance with the loss-of-resistance technique using air to conf...
متن کاملEpidural hematoma after routine epidural steroid injection
BACKGROUND There are few reported cases of an epidural spinal hematoma following interventional pain procedures. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a case of a spinal epidural hematoma in a patient with no known risk factors (e.g. coagulopathy), who underwent an epidural steroid injection (ESI) in the same anatomic location as two previously successful ESI procedures. CONCLUSION Early detection was...
متن کاملCervical Meningomyelitis After Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are a common treatment for back pain management. ESI-related complications have increased with the growing number of procedures. We report a case of cervical meningomyelitis followed by multiple lumbar ESI. A 60-year-old male with diabetes mellitus presented to our hospital with severe neck pain. He had a history of multiple lumbar injections from a local pain ...
متن کاملSpinal cord ischemia following cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injection.
T cervical epidural steroid injection (TFCESI) is a common non-surgical adjunct in the management of patients with cervical radiculopathy. It has gained popularity over the interlaminar approach because of its direct delivery of the steroid into the site of pathology. These procedures require fluoroscopic guidance in addition to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as they provide direct visua...
