Acupuncture needles causing lumbar cerebrospinal fluid fistula. Case report.

Joel E Ulloth1, Stephen J Haines.   

Abstract

Acupuncture is a frequently used adjuvant treatment for chronic pain conditions. The authors report the case of a patient in whom the delayed migration of embedded acupuncture needles into the lumbar spinal canal caused the formation of a cerebrospinal fluid fistula and spine-related headache. The needles were safely removed surgically and the patient improved clinically.
