Contrast dispersion pattern and efficacy of computed tomography-guided cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injection.
BACKGROUND The causes of upper extremity radicular pain or neck pain are varied, often involving disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or spondylosis. Cervical transformaminal epidural steroid injection (C-TFESI) is a common treatment for such pain. However, its efficacy conceivably may depend on needle-tip placement, linking the degree of pain reduction achieved to the pattern of contrast dispersi...
متن کاملInadvertent Subdural Injection during Cervical Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Serious complications following cervical epidural steroid injection are rare. Subdural injection of local anesthetic and steroid represents a rare but potentially life threatening complication. A patient presented with left sided cervical pain radiating into the left upper extremity with motor deficit. MRI showed absent lordosis with a broad left paramedian disc-osteophyte complex impinging the...
متن کاملCervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections
(TFESIs) play an important role in the conservative treatment of the symptoms of neck pain with a radicular component secondary to cervical herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) or spinal stenosis (1-3). Although some investigators have reported no serious complications resulting from the use of cervical TFESIs, recent reports emphasize the risks of this procedure, including a high incidence of ...
متن کاملSpinal cord ischemia following cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injection.
T cervical epidural steroid injection (TFCESI) is a common non-surgical adjunct in the management of patients with cervical radiculopathy. It has gained popularity over the interlaminar approach because of its direct delivery of the steroid into the site of pathology. These procedures require fluoroscopic guidance in addition to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as they provide direct visua...
متن کاملContrast Spreading Patterns in Retrodiscal Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
OBJECTIVE To observe the contrast spreading patterns in the retrodiscal (RD) approach for transforaminal epidural steroid injections and their effect on pain reduction. METHOD Patients with L5 radiculopathy who were scheduled to receive lumbar TF-EPB were consecutively included. We randomly divided them into the L4-5 RD and L5-S1 RD groups and administered 1 cc of contrast dye into epidural s...
