We report the breaking of an epidural catheter, which occurred during the procedure of insertion. If such a breaking is a rare event, it is due in this case to an aberrant trajectory of the catheter. By studying the literature, we also analyzed the mechanisms which can lead to the breaking of an epidural catheter. We recommend a precise radiological examination to localise the trapped catheter among the nervous structures.
我们报告了一例在硬膜外导管插入过程中发生的导管断裂事件。如果这种断裂是罕见事件，那么在该病例中是由于导管的异常走行所致。通过研究文献，我们还分析了可能导致硬膜外导管断裂的机制。我们建议进行精确的放射学检查，以确定被困在神经结构中的导管位置。
