Transforaminal epidural steroid injections are a common intervention in the treatment of radicular pain. Complications are rare, but can be catastrophic. One of the potentially devastating complications is occlusion of the artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA). ⋯ A transforaminal epidural steroid injection is an effective interventional treatment for radicular pain, but it requires careful attention due to the possible complications. The AKA was located in the upper half of the foramen. Keeping the wide variation in the anatomy of the AKA in mind is very important in order to prevent spinal cord ischemia.
