Abstract
IMPLICATIONS: Misplacement of an epidural catheter into the subarachnoid space is a recognized complication. However, breakage of an intrathecal epidural catheter during removal presents a dilemma. Appropriate imaging, a neurosurgical consultation, and aggressive surgical exploration and extraction of the retained piece are warranted, even in the asymptomatic patient.Entities:
