Özet

Background and objective: Epidural injections in the lumbar spine are provided by caudal, lumbar interlaminar or transforaminal routes. Caudal epidural steroid injections are often used for low back pain. Fluoroscopic guidance has been frequently cited as a requirement for this procedure. In this case report, we demonstrate the importance of fluoroscopic guidance during caudal epidural injection.
