Analysis of Inadvertent Intradiscal Injections during Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection
BACKGROUND Recently, there have been several case reports and retrospective studies about the incidence of intradiscal (ID) injection during transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI). Inadvertent ID injection is not a rare complication, and it carries the risk of developing diskitis, although there has been no report of diskitis after TFESI. We prospectively evaluated the incidence of i...

Historically, the terminology used to describe the transforaminal technique of instilling medications into the epidural space and/or exiting structur...
متن کاملParaplegia following a thoracolumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection.
BACKGROUND In recent years, transforaminal epidural injections have emerged as an alternative to interlaminar and caudal epidural steroid injections. The rationale for utilizing transforaminal epidural injections has been described for diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes. The evidence for lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections in managing lumbar nerve root pain is strong, wher...
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...
