Background and objective: Epidural injections in the lumbar spine are provided by caudal, lumbar interlaminar or transforaminal routes. Caudal epidural steroid injections are often used for low back pain. Fluoroscopic guidance has been frequently cited as a requirement for this procedure. In this case report, we demonstrate the importance of fluoroscopic guidance during caudal epidural injection. Case report: A 60 years old male patient was admitted to our Algology Department for low back pain. After physical examination caudal epidural steroid injection was planned. The caudal space was identified under fluoroscopic control initially using an anteroposterior projection. After the resultant epidurogram demonstrated vascular spread along the caudal epidural space the needle was withdrawn and the procedure was completed after reinserting the needle. Conclusion: A careful real time fluoroscopic monitoring should be applied with the injection of opaque material to minimize the risk of vascular injection. |
