The S1 “Scotty dog”: report of a technique for S1 transforaminal epidural steroid injection. Objective To report a technique for needle placement by using the bony landmark of the “Scotty dog” on an oblique view for epidural injection of corticosteroid into the S1 foramina. Design Brief ...
The transforaminal epidural steroid injection was developed to deliver injectate to the ventral epidural space because the putative site of pain generation is the posterior anulus and the ventral aspect of the nerve root sleeve. The transforaminal epidural steroid injection technique described in this ...

Notably, surgical bleeding may lead to the occurrence of epidural hematoma [31]. The depth of the anesthesia of the patients may influence the pressure of the spinal canal and the blood loss [36], thus from the beginning of the procedure the physician should monitor the anesthesia and provide...

Objective The objective of this study was to identify ...
Facet tropism correlates with less success of transforaminal epidural steroid injection; therefore, facet tropism may be a worthwhile measurement in a discussion with patients of the benefits of the procedure.doi:10.1007/s00256-018-3129-8Celenlıoglu, Alp Eren...
When intraforaminal pattern was detected on anteroposterior image, lateral fluoroscopy demonstrated ventral epidural flow in all occasions. In 3 cases, intravascular injection was detected (6.5%). Ultrasound-guided lumbar transforaminal injections are accurate and feasible in the preclinical setting....
We performed epidural catheter-assisted PETLD. Mechanical outward pushing and normal saline injection through the epidural catheter were performed for removal of hidden disk remnants. In the second case, a 26-year-old man presented with severe radiating pain in the L5-S1 dermatoms on both sides...
The patient was a 53-year-old woman who underwent a right L5-S1 transforaminal epidural steroid injection for chronic radicular pain [<1 year] due to lumbar stenosis, with a recent acute exacerbation of her pain. She had no associated neurological deficits. Her past medical history was notable...
Objectives.: To assess the clinical effectiveness of single lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs) in subjects with radicular pain with or without radiculopathy. Design.: Retrospective observational series. Setting.: Single academic radiology pain management practice. Subjects.: Two ...
