Case Report A 45-year-old man had a case of Buerger's disease with intractable digital ischemia pain, and conventional multimodal analgesic therapy was unsuccessful. After intrathecal morphine pumps were implanted, the patient had excellent pain relief without significant side effects. However, a large subcutaneous hygroma of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) developed around the pump and was not improved after bed resting with compressive dressing put around the waist. We performed epidural blood patch for occlusion of spinal leakage in the presence of an intrathecal catheter. The CSF hygroma ceased after the epidural blood patch. In conclusion, epidural blood patch was a successful therapy of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid fistula after intrathecal morphine pump. |
