Description

A case where an encapsulated permanent epidural catheter for continuous analgesia caused pressure on the dural sac is presented. The clinical findings and postmyelographic computerised tomography (CT) imitated an epidural metastasis, until an epidurography via the epidural catheter revealed its true nature. (orig.)
