The Effects of Caudal Epidural Injection on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Hemodynamic Parameters in Adults with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome: A Prospective Clinical Study
Standard-volume caudal epidural injection in adults with FBSS causes a temporary, asymptomatic elevation in ONSD, reflecting a reversible change in ICP. The procedure was well tolerated, with minimal and clinically insignificant hemodynamic effects, supporting its safety and utility in this patient population.
