Breakage of epidural catheter though rare is a well-known but worrisome complication. Visualization of retained catheter is difficult even with modern radiological imaging techniques, and active surgical intervention might be necessary for removal of catheter fragment. We report such a case of breakage of an epidural catheter during its removal which led to surgical intervention.
硬膜外导管断裂虽罕见,但却是一种广为人知且令人担忧的并发症。即便使用现代放射成像技术,也很难看到残留的导管,可能需要积极的手术干预来取出导管碎片。我们报告了这样一例在硬膜外导管拔除过程中发生断裂并导致手术干预的病例。
