This is a case of a 56-year-old man diagnosed with coccidioidal meningitis 42 years ago at the age of 14. He was treated with intrathecal amphotericin B deoxycholate by cisternal…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the manual identification of the reservoir fill port (RFP) for refill of intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDSs) with…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of epidural injection of three volumes of lidocaine injected at the third (T3) or eleventh thoracic vertebra (T11) in conscious dogs to induce thoracic epidural…
We describe the case of a 30-year-old patient who was referred for lumbar epidural corticosteroid injection due to right L5 radiculopathy. Two months earlier, MRI demonstrated a right large paracentral…
Despite decades of research, pharmacological therapies for spinal cord motor pathologies are limited. Alternatives using macromolecular, viral, or cell-based therapies show early promise. However, introducing these substances into the spinal…
RATIONALE: We present a case of high spinal anesthesia after inadvertent injection of local anesthetics and corticosteroids into the subarachnoid space during attempted epidural injection. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lavage is…
BACKGROUND: In the most of previous experiments, intrathecal administration of stem cells (SCs) was seen in the management of neurogenic bladder (NGB) following contusion or complete transaction in the rodent…
To avoid potentially fatal wrong-route neuraxial drug errors, international standard ISO 80369-6 specifying a non-Luer neuraxial connector design was published in 2016. We describe usability studies used in development of…
