Abstract
After epiduroscopy, one case was seen to have an epidural hematoma. It involved a 78-year-old woman who received an epiduroscopy for her degenerative spondylolisthesis. Obvious bleeding was not seen during the epiduroscopy. After the epiduroscopy, pain in the lower limbs increased, and paralysis of the lower limbs and dysuria appeared. Because extensive epidural hematoma was observed with an MRI, an emergency laminectomy was performed, and paralysis of the lower limbs was reduced. When pain appears in the lower back or lower limbs after epiduroscopy, the nerves must be attentively observed and close attention given to the epidural hematoma. Early examination and treatment are also necessary in cases of paralysis.
