    AbstractTraditionally, intrathecal therapy has been used for pain amelioration in cancer patients, but now has indications for nonmalignant chronic pain conditions. Due to its expanding use, it is imperative to understand the risks and management of intrathecal pump implantation. This case illustrates a series of uncommon intrathecal pump complications in a 52-year-old woman with complex regional pain syndrome. Considering the complications outlined in this case, there is a need to conduct retrospective studies and establish guidelines to address when it is optimal to remove a chronically placed catheter as well as the proper technique for removal.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
