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...

OBJECTIVE To observe the contrast spreading patterns in the retrodiscal (RD) approach for transforaminal epidural steroid injections and their effect on pain reduction. METHOD Patients with L5 radiculopathy who were scheduled to receive lumbar TF-EPB were consecutively included. We randomly divided them into the L4-5 RD and L5-S1 RD groups and administered 1 cc of contrast dye into epidural s...
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...
