Article Synopsis
- Epidural blood patches (EBPs) are commonly used to treat spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), and recent reports suggest using a Racz catheter for EBP at upper cervical spine levels.
- A case involving a 60-year-old man with SIH and cerebrospinal fluid leaks was treated with a single-entry multisite EBP approach using a Racz catheter.
- The study concludes that the Racz catheter offers a practical way to deliver large-volume EBPs from one entry point, enhancing treatment efficiency for SIH.
