  • Title: Delayed presentation of an extradural abscess complicating thoracic extradural analgesia.
    Author: Sowter MC, Burgess NA, Woodsford PV, Lewis MH.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1992 Jan; 68(1):103-5. PubMed ID: 1739546.
    Abstract:
    Extradural abscess is a rare but recognized complication of extradural anaesthesia. Previous reports have been associated with a short time interval between extradural catheterization and presentation. We report a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, receiving steroid therapy, in whom an extradural abscess did not present until 23 days after the insertion of a thoracic extradural catheter to provide postoperative analgesia.
