Survey of Anesthesiology, 1979
Two cases of spinal epidural abscess following prolonged epidural anaesthesia are presented. The clinical features included fever, malaise, and signs of nerve root compression; backache was not marked. Prompt surgical drainage and appropriate antibiotics are required to avoid the costly sequelae of bladder and leg paralysis from spinal cord compression.

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2001
Although possessing a long history of use, the therapeutic use of epidural steroid injections still needs substantiation. Refinements in our understanding of the pathophysiology of radicular pain and in the techniques used to deliver depo-steroids to the target tissue will lead to improved clinical outcomes and fewer technique and drug-related side ...

Epidural Hematoma After Outpatient Epidural Anesthesia
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2002Epidural hematoma is a rare complication of epidural anesthesia in healthy patients. Expedient diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid permanent neurologic deficits. In an outpatient setting, patients should be instructed to communicate symptoms of severe back pain or weakness early.
