We read the article by Zhu et al (1) regarding an alternative approach for lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections. We found that their work was similar to our previously reported article, “Fluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural dry needling for lumbar spinal stenosis using a specially designed needle” (2). In our article, we introduced a minimally invasive interventional tec...
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...

MATERIAL AND METHODS Hundred-fifty-three consecutive patients who underwent to lumbar TFESI were enrolled. The outcomes were measured by using a visual numeric scale (VNS), NASS and EQ-5D. The relationship between po...
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.
