Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Continuous epidural catheter technique is generally a safe modality. A rare occurrence of development of subarachnoid-cutaneous fistula (SACF), postremoval of epidural catheter, is described. It can be potentially challenging to diagnose and treat. A watchful and patient conservative approach is highly recommended for successful outcomes.
