Acute rhabdomyolysis following epidural steroid injection: An unusual complication in a patient with low back pain

Epidural steroid injection is a very common intervention in the treatment of low back pain and sciatic symptoms. The most common complication for epidural steroid injection is transient headache with or without identifiable dural puncture. Other complications have also been reported, including intravascular entry, local hematoma, bleeding, increased back pain, facial flushing, vasovagal reactions, nausea, and fever. We report a case of rhabdomyolysis following epidural steroid injection for lumbar radiculopathy

Kronik bel ağrılı hastada nadir görülen bir komplikasyon: Epidural steroid enjeksiyonunu takiben gelişen akut rabdomiyoliz

Epidural steroid enjeksiyonu kronik bel ağrısında yaygın kullanılan bir tedavidir. Epidural steroid enjeksiyonun en sık görülen komplikasyonu, dural yırtığın eşlik ettiği yada etmediği çoğunlukla geçici olan baş ağrısıdır. Gözlenen diğer komplikasyonlar arasında; intravasküler enjeksiyon, lokal hematom, kanama, bel ağrısında artış, yüzde flushing, vazovagal reaksiyonlar, bulantı ve ateş bildirilmiştir.
