Abstract
- Transforaminal selective epidural block (TFSEB) technique is used for spinal pain management. Multiple recent reports cite TFSEB resulting in complications such as life-threatening infections, spinal fluid leaks, positional headaches, adhesive arachnoiditis, hydrocephalus, air embolism, urinary retention, allergic reactions, intravascular injections, stroke, blindness, neurological deficits/paralysis, hematomas, seizure and death. We present herein a case of TFSEB induced retroperitoneal hematoma resolution with conservative treatment.
