Demystifying post-stroke pain: from etiology to treatment

Unintended dural punctures with cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak are recognized as a frequent complication of spinal surgery. Although there are conservative and invasive options to treat post-operative CSF leaks, existing literature defines neither an algorithmic treatment approach nor a universally accepted standard of care. We believe that a transforaminal epidural blood patch (EBP) can serve as a minimally invasive, cost-effective option to treat post-surgical CSF leaks that do not resolve with conservative management.
