    ObjectivesThis is a case report and description of a new ultrasound-guided caudad epidural needle placement for percutaneous stimulation of the lumbosacral roots.Materials And MethodsCase report.ResultsUsing ultrasonography pertinent spinal and neuroaxial anatomy was visualized. In-plane approach with continuous monitoring of the needle advancement was utilized. The needle was seamlessly placed in the epidural space on the first attempt.ConclusionsSpinal sonography is a promising imaging method to facilitate percutaneous caudad epidural access.© 2010 International Neuromodulation Society.
