Transforaminal Epidural Blood Patch

open access: yesPain Physician, 2007
Spinal headache is an occasional, but painful complication of epidural injection procedures due to dural puncture that allows leakage of CSF from the thecal sac, thereby reducing intracranial pressure. In the event of failure of conservative management, (e.g. abdominal binder, fluids, acetaminophen), an epidural blood patch is often used.

MRI after thoracic epidural blood patch [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2003
A 60-year-old woman presented with a history of trigeminal neuralgia. Results of cranial MRI were normal, but T2-weighted MRI of the cervicothoracic spine revealed an epidural hyperintense signal extending from vertebra C7 to the caudal thoracic spine (figure). After imaging, the patient reported that she had successfully received an …

No increased risk of spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak after spinal manipulative therapy: A retrospective cohort study

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a rare but debilitating condition, have been described following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in case reports. However, the nature of the potential association between SMT and CSF leak is uncertain, and symptoms such as neck pain or headache may reflect preexisting leaks rather than ...
