Percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) is a known interventional technique for the management of spinal pain. As with any procedures, PEN is associated with complications ranging from mild to more serious ones. We present a case of intracranial subdural hematoma after PEN requiring surgical evacuation. We review the relevant literature and discuss possible complications of PEN and patholophysiology of intracranial subdural hematoma after PEN.
经皮硬膜外神经成形术(PEN)是一种治疗脊柱疼痛的已知介入技术。与任何手术一样,PEN会伴有从轻微到更严重的并发症。我们报告一例经皮硬膜外神经成形术后发生颅内硬膜下血肿需手术清除的病例。我们回顾相关文献并讨论经皮硬膜外神经成形术可能的并发症以及经皮硬膜外神经成形术后颅内硬膜下血肿的病理生理学。
