Abstract
Epidural blood patch (EBP) is an effective procedure for the treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Neurological compromise following EBP, although rare, is recognized as a serious potential complication. We describe a 33-year-old female patient in whom long-term bladder and bowel dysfunction developed following a small volume (10 mL) EBP to treat SIH. We also discuss the possible pathophysiological mechanisms related to this complication in the postprocedure setting.Entities:
