Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pneumocephalus can develop from accidental dural puncture using loss of resistance technique with air. Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or sudden headache following epidural injection may imply pneumocephalus. A frequently used diagnostic tool of pneumocephalus is imaging such as computed tomography (CT). Herein, we report a case of pneumocephalus as a result of cervical epidural steroid injection under fl uoroscopic guidance in a 46-year-old female patient with ossifi cation of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
