Transforaminal epidural blood patch for intractable spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak: a case report

摘要

BackgroundEpidural blood patch (EBP) is a recognized treatment for spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak (SCFL) and is typically administered by the interlaminar approach. Here, we report a case of a patient in whom SCFL failed to resolve after three applications of interlaminar EBPs before finally being successfully treated with transforaminal EBP.
