Acute Epidural Hematoma after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Insertion: a Case Report
Background & Importance: Acute epidural hematoma is a very rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion. The insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt can cause sudden decompression of the brain, subsequent to which epidural hematoma occurs due to CSF drainage. To our knowledge, there are only a few cases of acute epidural hematoma in the literature which required acute e...

220 July 2016 P mediana dorsalis (PMD) has been rarely visualized but is occasionally implicated as a cause of unilateral epidural local anesthesia. Herein, we demonstrate PMD using epidurography. a normal anteroposterior epidurogram should show contrast outlining the lateral margins of the epidural space bilaterally.1 Herein, we show a unilateral epidurogram through a midline epidural catheter...

We compared the loss of resistance (LOR) technique and fluoroscopy with the LOR technique, fluoroscopy, and epidurography for interlaminar epidural injection. A total of 371 patients with symptomatic lumbosacral radiculopathy were enrolled; 17 had a history of allergy to iodinated contrast medium or seafood. Each patient was given an oral steroid before and after the procedure. A Tuohy needle w...

Objective. Unilateral sensory and motor blockade is known to occur with epidural anesthesia but is rarely reported in children. The differential diagnosis should include the presence of a midline epidural septum. Case Report. We describe a case of a 16-year-old adolescent who developed repeated complete unilateral extensive epidural sensory and motor blockade with Horner's syndrome after thorac...
متن کاملIncorrect needle position during lumbar epidural steroid administration: inaccuracy of loss of air pressure resistance and requirement of fluoroscopy and epidurography during needle insertion.
Loss of air pressure resistance leads to a high rate (25.7%) of inaccurate needle-tip placement in the posterior soft tissues of the back during lumbar epidural steroid administration employing a 20-gauge Tuohy needle. Imaging and epidurogram are essential for confident identification of the lumbar epidural space to enable accurate location of steroid administration. Studies assessing efficacy ...
