title: Lymphatic drainage of epidural space in rabbits.
abstract: Epidural lymphatic drainage was examined using epidural catheterization and an infusion of india ink. The india ink was drained quickly through a connecting lymphatic vessel from the nerve root foramen to the anterior lumbar lymphatic vessels. Many kinds of epidurally administered agents may be drained in this manner.
