Transforaminal epidural blood patch.
Spinal headache is an occasional, but painful complication of epidural injection procedures due to dural puncture that allows leakage of CSF from the thecal sac, thereby reducing intracranial pressure. In the event of failure of conservative management, (e.g. abdominal binder, fluids, acetaminophen), an epidural blood patch is often used. This case report describes a patient with spinal headach...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided epidural blood patch.
A 35-YR-OLD woman presented with a postdural puncture headache for epidural blood patch. The procedure was performed in the lateral position. A curvilinear ultrasound probe with sterile cover was used to visualize the epidural space. A 20-G epidural needle was used to identify the space by the loss-of-resistance technique. Blood was then injected into the epidural space under real-time ultrasou...
متن کاملAseptic precautions for epidural blood patch.
headache symptoms compared with patients administered blood patch, and should have been excluded from this analysis, in our opinion. Indeed, these women could be considered ‘treatment successes’, since they received analgesia sufficient to be able to continue childcare at home, headache-free at one week, without exposure to the risks of epidural blood patch. It follows that a similar proportion...
متن کاملLidocaine inhibits blood coagulation: implications for epidural blood patch.
Lidocaine in the epidural space, through inhibitory effects upon coagulation, may contribute to inefficacy of epidural autologous blood patch (EBP). This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of achievable epidural concentrations of lidocaine on blood coagulation as a step in testing this hypothesis. Ex vivo blood coagulation using whole blood (n = 20) was studied with computerized thromb...
متن کاملEpidural Blood Patch for the Treatment of Post-laminectomy Cerebrospinal Fluid Fistula – A Case Report
We report a case of an 86 year old female that presented with a refractory cerebrospinal fluid fistula after L2-L5 posterior decompression. An epidural blood patch was performed on post-operative day 21, and the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid ceased soon after the procedure, thus avoiding the need for open closure. One year after surgery, the patient showed improvement in intermittent claudicat...
