A patchy loco-regional hypalgesia due to subdural catheter placement.
We discuss a unique case of perforation of the dura mater, but not of the arachnoidea, by an epidural catheter. The injected test dose of the local anesthetic agent caused a partial subdural and a partial epidural hypalgesia. The exact position of the catheter and the distribution of the local anesthetic agent was confirmed by radiographic contrast material.
