Widened Epidural Space after Spinal Fusion

Neurosurgery, 1981
abstract Two cases of widening of the L-5, S-1 anterior epidural space after lumbar laminectomy and bilateral transverse process fusion are reported. Metrizamide lumbar epidurography was valuable in assessing this apparent widening and demonstrating that this space was normal and free of disc material. Posterior traction on the dural sac

Mathematical analysis of epidural space location

International Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 1995
The location of epidural space for local anaesthetic injection can be difficult. The aim of this study was to define the mathematical function of the pressure changes in the syringe during puncture of the epidural space. Knowledge of pressure changes might be of help to the anesthetist who attempts to ascertain the location of the needle, and it is ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Quantitative Anatomy of the Thoracolumbar Epidural Space

Neurosurgery, 1985
Abstract 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

Distance to the adult cervical epidural space

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2003
Cervical epidural block is useful in the management of a variety of acute, chronic, and cancer-related pain syndromes involving the head, face, neck, and upper extremities. Knowledge of the depth from the skin to the cervical epidural space (DSES) may be helpful when performing cervical epidural block and may reduce the possibility of complications. We

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

Dura Mater and Epidural Space

2017
Tuberculosis (TB) remains as a major public health issue along the world especially in the underdeveloped and some developing countries. Central nervous system (CNS) TB has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations depending on the phase of the infection and affected component of the nervous system.
