Ultrasound-guided Caudal Epidural Injection
To the Editor:—I read with interest the article “Ultrasound Guidance in Caudal Epidural Needle Placement” by Chen et al. However, I have a couple of points to raise. The author’s assertion that the application of ultrasonography to locate the sacral hiatus for caudal epidural injections has not been described is inaccurate. The footprint property of the transducer is not mentioned in the articl...

متن کاملAnalysis 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...
متن کاملLumbar Retrodiscal Transforaminal Injection
Objectives: The author demonstrates a variation of the transforaminal injection technique. The radiographic spread of contrast is described using a more oblique and ventral caudad approach in the epidural space “retrodiscal.” It is suggested that the radiographic findings of this technique for discogenic causes of induced radiculitis and/or back pain may yield more precise targeting of putative...
متن کاملTransforaminal lumbar epidural steroid injections.
Low back pain is an important medical, social, and economic problem involving approximately 15% to 39% of the population. Of the numerous therapeutic interventions available for treatment of chronic low back pain, including surgery, epidural administration of corticosteroids is one such intervention commonly used. Several approaches available to access the lumbar epidural space are the caudal, ...
