Abstract

Caudal epidural steroid injection (CESI) is one of the most common interventions in management of lumbar radicular pain of the patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment. Complications related to caudal epidural injections are rare. However, occasional complications may become worrisome. This report presents the inadvertent dural puncture during caudal epidural injections in two patients who were suffering from spinal-related radicular pain.
