An epidural neuroblastoma causing spinal cord compression in a 67-year-old woman
Rare Tumors, 2010 We report a case of disseminated neuroblastoma (NB) causing epidural spinal cord compression in a 67-year-old woman. Because NB is primarily a tumor of infancy and childhood, less is known about its clinical course and optimal treatment in adults.

Using LOR Syringe Probes as a Method to Reduce Errors in Epidural Analgesia -- a Robotic Simulation Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Epidural analgesia involves injection of anesthetics into the epidural space, using a Touhy needle to proceed through the layers in the epidural region and a "loss of resistance" (LOR) syringe to sense the environment stiffness. The anesthesiologist's case experience is one of the leading causes of accidental dural puncture and failed epidural - the ...

Design and Assessment of a Bimanual Haptic Epidural Needle Insertion Simulator [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The case experience of anesthesiologists is one of the leading causes of accidental dural punctures and failed epidurals - the most common complications of epidural analgesia used for pain relief during delivery. We designed a bimanual haptic simulator to train anesthesiologists and optimize epidural analgesia skill acquisition.

The automatic detection of lumber anatomy in epidural injections for ultrasound guidance [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The purpose of this paper is to help the anesthesiologist to find the epidural depth automatically to make the first attempt to enter the path of the needle into the patient's body while it is clogged with bone and avoid causing a puncture in the surrounding areas of the patient`s back.

Tissue Classification During Needle Insertion Using Self-Supervised Contrastive Learning and Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Needle positioning is essential for various medical applications such as epidural anaesthesia. Physicians rely on their instincts while navigating the needle in epidural spaces. Thereby, identifying the tissue structures may be helpful to the physician as they can provide additional feedback in the needle insertion process.
