The breakage of the epidural catheter is an alarming, rare, yet well-known complication. Despite the advances in modern imaging technologies, visualization of the broken catheter remains challenging, and surgical intervention might be necessary to remove the broken catheter. We report a case of a broken epidural catheter post-vaginal delivery, which was managed by surgical intervention.
硬膜外导管断裂是一种令人担忧、罕见但广为人知的并发症。尽管现代成像技术有所进步,但可视化断裂的导管仍然具有挑战性,可能需要手术干预来取出断裂的导管。我们报告一例阴道分娩后硬膜外导管断裂的病例,该病例通过手术干预进行了处理。
