Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) After Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection: a Case Report.
Caudal epidural injections are easy, effective, and safe methods and are good options for patients with low back pain and radicular lower extremity pain. Although various complications related to the technique of the procedure or the drugs used in the procedure have been described, Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) has not yet been defined for this intervention. ⋯ Although PRES is rarely reported, it should be kept in mind that it is a complication that can develop after caudal epidural steroid injection.
