Figure 1
Computerized tomographic (CT) image of the lumbar spinal vertebral canal, showing contrast (arrows) injected through a normally functioning epidural catheter, placed in a 47yo woman for epidural analgesia during brachytherapy of cervical cancer. The image after 4ml injection demonstrates layering of the contrast and no passage through the foramina. Injection of an additional 10ml showed passage through the foramina in continuity with the layered solution.
