During the early stage of postherpetic neuralgia, an epidural block on the affected segment is helpful in controlling pain and preventing progression to a chronic state. The main neurologic complication following an epidural block is cord compression symptom due to an epidural hematoma. When neurologic complications arise from an epidural block for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia, it is...

for 2 days. He was discharged home 7 days after his operation. This is the first reported case of an ultrasound-guided TAP block causing a significant postoperative complication and highlights the potential for iatrogenic injury even when ultrasound is used. The injury here was likely due to a failure to accurately image the entire needle during the right-sided needle placement, resulting in ex...
