A lumbar epidural catheter inserted in a 29-year-old woman for labor analgesia. The catheter failed to provide adequate analgesia. Moreover, after labor, it proved difficult to be removed. After computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance impedance (MRI) examination the course of the catheter was visible, the entrapped catheter was dislodged intact, revealing a kinking near its distal tip. Kinking of an epidural catheter leading to entrapment is an unusual complication of epidural catheterization.
一名29岁女性为分娩镇痛插入了一根腰椎硬膜外导管。该导管未能提供足够的镇痛效果。此外，分娩后发现导管难以拔除。经计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）检查后，导管的走行清晰可见，被困的导管完整取出，发现其远端尖端附近有一处扭结。硬膜外导管扭结导致被困是硬膜外导管插入术一种不常见的并发症。
