Pressure-Volume Relationships in the Spinal Canal and Potential Neurological Complications After Epidural Fluid Injections
Front Pain Res (Lausanne). 2022 Jul 7;3:884277. doi: 10.3389/fpain.2022.884277. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTHigh-volume fluid injections into the spinal canal may lead to severe neurological complications. But when anatomical or pathological conditions in the spinal canal are unfavorable, even small volume epidural injections can cause dangerously high epidural, subarachnoid, and intracranial pressures or pressure gradients. Data obtained from the scientific literature and direct clinical observation are used to derive a first-order approximation of epidural, subarachnoid, and intracranial pressure responses to epidural fluid...
