Hisanori MATSUOKA, Satoshi KASHIMOTO, Toshiaki YAMAGUCHI, and Teruo KUMAZAWA

Abstract: A patient with intrathoracic migration of a thoracic epidural catheter is described. Migration may have occurred due to accidental puncture of parietal and visceral pleura by a Tuohy needle. The risk of producing a pneumothorax must be considered when attempting a continuous thoracic epidural blockade.

Key words: Complications, Epidural blockade, Tuohy needle, Epidural catheter
