Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus epidural abscess after transforaminal epidural steroid injection.
Pain Physician 2004 April
Transforaminal epidural steroid injections are provided frequently for patients with lumbar radiculopathy, having demonstrated efficacy and safety. We present a patient who developed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus epidural abscess 11 days after a transforaminal epidural steroid injection.

The incidence, etiology and treatment of epidural injection-related infections are reviewed.
