Cervical epidural steroid injections can rarely cause serious medullary cord injury, such as myelopathy and syringomyelia, even when performed correctly. Prompt neck movement is advised if unexpected pain occurs post-injection.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Pain Management
Background:
- Complications of cervical epidural steroid injections are well-documented.
- Medullary cord injury, including myelopathy, myelomalacia, and syringomyelia, has not been previously reported following these procedures.
- This study presents two rare cases of medullary cord injury after cervical epidural steroid injections.
