Intracranial hypotension headache after uncomplicated caudal epidural injection.

Abstract:

:A caudal epidural injection was performed on a middle-aged woman for pain in her right foot. Although the procedure was uncomplicated and a good epidurogram was obtained, the patient went on to develop an orthostatic headache with generalised weakness and syncopal episodes that were treated successfully by epidural blood patching. We describe the aetiology, presentation and treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension and review the similarities with our patient's clinical presentation. We hypothesise as to how our intervention may have resulted in a dural tear.

  • The effects of ropivacaine hydrochloride on platelet function: an assessment using the platelet function analyser (PFA-100).

    abstract::Amide local anaesthetics impair blood clotting in a concentration-dependent manner by inhibition of platelet function and enhanced fibrinolysis. We hypothesised that the presence of ropivacaine in the epidural space could decrease the efficacy of an epidural blood patch, as this technique requires that the injected bl...
