Cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections
(TFESIs) play an important role in the conservative treatment of the symptoms of neck pain with a radicular component secondary to cervical herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) or spinal stenosis (1-3). Although some investigators have reported no serious complications resulting from the use of cervical TFESIs, recent reports emphasize the risks of this procedure, including a high incidence of ...
متن کاملImproving the safety of transforaminal epidural steroid injections in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy.
BACKGROUND Unplanned vascular trespass occurs in 20% of cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections (CTFESI) and rarely results in devastating neurologic complications. The Trucath Spinal Injection System is a novel integrated catheter and needle device that is specifically designed to minimize vascular trespass risk. OBJECTIVE To compare the vascular trespass incidence with the Truca...
متن کاملTreatment Outcomes of Intradiscal Steroid Injection/selective Nerve Root Block for 161 Patients with Cervical Radiculopathy
Patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR) were treated with intradiscal injection of steroids (IDIS) and/or selective nerve root block (SNRB) at our hospital. We retrospectively report the outcomes of these nonsurgical treatments for CR. 161 patients who were followed up for >2months were enrolled in this study. Patients' clinical manifestations were classified as arm pain, arm numbness, neck a...
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...
متن کاملInadvertent Subdural Injection during Cervical Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Serious complications following cervical epidural steroid injection are rare. Subdural injection of local anesthetic and steroid represents a rare but potentially life threatening complication. A patient presented with left sided cervical pain radiating into the left upper extremity with motor deficit. MRI showed absent lordosis with a broad left paramedian disc-osteophyte complex impinging the...
