The anatomy of the epidural space
Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2006Abstract The epidural space is important to the anaesthetist as the site for epidural block. It surrounds the spinal part of the dura and extends from the foramen magnum of the skull to the sacral hiatus. It contains the roots of the spinal nerves, the vertebral plexus of veins, small arteries, lymphatics and the epidural fat.

Depth of epidural space in children
Anaesthesia, 1994SummaryWe have studied the depth of epidural space in 586 children who had lumbar epidural block as part of their anaesthetic management. The mean depth of epidural space in neonates was I cm (SD 0.2, range 0.4–1.5 cm). The depth of epidural space in older infants and children correlated significantly with age and weight with regression equations of ...

Neurologic function becomes extremely vulnerable as it funnels through the slender spinal cord and nerve roots. Thus, neoplastic and nonneoplastic processes of the spine and epidural space often give rise to severe backache, radiculopathy, sensorimotor disturbances, loss of sphincter control, and even paraplegia.

LYMPHOMAS OF SPINAL EPIDURAL SPACE
Archives of Surgery, 1954INVASION of the spinal epidural space by lymphoblastic tissue is an infrequent complication of Hodgkin's disease or lymphosarcomatosis. Signs and symptoms of involvement of the central nervous system in lymphoblastic disease are not unusual but actual invasion of the brain and spinal cord is extremely rare.

The epidural space exists between the periosteal lining of the vertebral canal and the dural sac. Generally it is not an empty cavity but contains fat, blood vessels, fibrous tissue, nerve roots and other various structures, though at some levels it exists as a ‘potential space' (minimal content but ability to accommodate large volumes).

Ultrasound Imaging of the Thoracic Epidural Space
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2002In thoracic epidural anesthesia, the "loss of resistance" technique is the standard technique for the identification of the epidural space (EDS), the feedback to the operator is often solely tactile. Our aim was to establish ultrasonography for the prepuncture demonstration of the anatomic structures surrounding the thoracic EDS and to evaluate its ...

Quantitative Anatomy of the Thoracolumbar Epidural Space
Neurosurgery, 1985Abstract Quantitative measurements of the epidural space between T-7 and L-4 were made in the sagittal and coronal planes utilizing x-ray films made after the injection of iodized oil into the epidural space in the low thoracic and upper lumbar areas. These data reveal a 1-mm ventral epidural space and a 2-mm lateral epidural space, with

Ethnicity and the Distance to the Epidural Space in Parturients
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2008In a pilot study, we previously demonstrated a higher average skin to lumbar epidural space distance (STLESD) in our obstetric population compared with the published literature. Furthermore, we demonstrated differences in STLESD based on ethnicity. The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive analysis of the STLESD in our patient population by ...

Abstract Despite the importance of anatomical knowledge in the safe and effective conduct of thoraco-lumbar epidural anaesthesia there are widespread misunderstandings about the detailed anatomy of this complex region. Current textbooks and teaching continue to propagate misleading information.
