    AbstractA case of inability to remove an epidural catheter after vaginal delivery is reported. Surgical removal under general anaesthesia was attempted, but the catheter tip was sheared off inadvertently. Because the parturient was asymptomatic, it was decided to stop the operation and to leave the catheter tip into the epidural space. This complication is often related to excessive insertion of the catheter into the epidural space.
