Development of spontaneous subarachnoid-cutaneous fistula after the removal of epidural catheter and its management: A case report
Continuous epidural catheter technique is generally a safe modality. A rare occurrence of development of subarachnoid-cutaneous fistula (SACF), postremoval of epidural catheter, is described. It can be potentially challenging to diagnose and treat. A watchful and patient conservative approach is highly recommended for successful outcomes.
