Comparison of two methods of epidural steroid injection in the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Purpose: We compared the effects of two methods of epidural steroid injection in patients with recurrent disc herniation.

Overview Of Literature: To our knowledge, there is no previous report of such a comparison in these patients.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt migration and coiling: A report of two cases.

Migration of the proximal and distal catheters of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a very rare event. Here, we report two infants with hydrocephalus and ventriculoperitoneal shunt who presented later with shunt coiling and migration. The first infant was admitted with scalp swelling around proximal incision 3 months after shunt insertion and migration and coiling of both ventricular and peritoneal catheters occurred under the scalp at that point.
