Liposarcoma in the Epidural Space

Spine, 2000
A patient with myxoid liposarcoma in the lumbar epidural space is reported.The subject was treated with marginal resection and posterior instrumentation.Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor of the soft tissues. It is commonly seen in the thigh. Lumbar extradural space is an unusual localization.

The spinal epidural space

Clinical Anatomy, 1999
The validity of the concept of an epidural 'space' within the vertebral canal is questioned. An attempt is made to locate the 'space' morphologically, developmentally, and topographically. Following Parkin and Harrison (1985), it is agreed that no actual 'space' exists in the intact living subject.

Epidural Space as a Starling Resistor and Elevation of Inflow Resistance in a Diseased Epidural Space

Regional Anesthesia: The Journal of Neural Blockade in Obstetrics, Surgery, & Pain Control, 1997
Background and Objectives The origin and the presence of negative pressure in the epidural space as well as the relationship of the extent of epidural anesthesia to epidural pressure has long been a subject of controversy. To further elucidate epidural pressure and its time course, the pressure at the needle tip was

Depth of epidural space in children

Anaesthesia, 1994
Summary We 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 ...

LYMPHOMAS OF SPINAL EPIDURAL SPACE

Archives of Surgery, 1954
INVASION 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.

Ultrasound Imaging of the Thoracic Epidural Space

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2002
In 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 ...

Spine and Epidural Space

2018
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.

Anatomy of the epidural space

Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 1999
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).
