CASE REPORT,

 

Cerebrospinal Fluid Cutaneous Fistula after Uneventful Epidural Analgesia

A cerebrospinal fluid cutaneous fistula is rarely a complication of epidural analgesia. Cases in adults and children have been reported after complicated epidural catheter insertion in spinal surgery [1], CSF lumbar drain insertion [2] and in immunocompromised patients [3]. We report a case of cerebrospinal fluid cutaneous fistula after uneventful thoracic epidural catheter insertion and discuss its diagnosis and management.
