Electrode geometry and preferential stimulation of spinal nerve fibers having different orientations: a modeling study [PDF]
In a computer modeling study of epidural spinal cord stimulation using a longitudinal array of electrode contacts, the effect of contact geometry and contact combination on the threshold voltages for stimulation of dorsal column (DC) fibers and dorsal ...

Electrical safety in spinal cord stimulation: current density analysis by computer modeling [PDF]
The possibility of tissue damage in spinal cord stimulation was investigated in a computer modeling study. A decrease of the electrode area in monopolar stimulation resulted in an increase of the current density at the electrode surface.

Spinal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Mimicking Epidural Hematoma
A patient, recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, presented with acute tetraplegia after surgical cervical lymph node biopsy. MRI of the cervical spine demonstrated an epidural space-occupying lesion with compressive myelopathy.

Effects of electrode configuration and geometry on fiber preference in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
In contrast to the widespread assumption that dorsal column fibers are the primary targets of spinal cord stimulation by a dorsal epidural electrode, it appears that dorsal root fibers are recruited as well, and even preferentially under various ...

Acoustic puncture assist device: A novel technique to identify the epidural space
Background: Acoustic puncture assist device (APAD) is designed to detect aand signal the loss of resistance during the epidural procedure. We aimed to evaluate this device in terms of successful identification of the epidural space and the incidence of ...

Lumbar epidural anesthesia is commonly used for labor analgesia. The 'loss-of- resistance' to air technique (LORA) is generally employed for recognition of the epidural space. One of the rare complications of this technique is pneumocephalus (PC).
