Abstract
- A 37-year-old male was admitted for left chest pain during a 6 months period and was given an epidural block for pain control. Vancomycin 500 mg/4 ml instead of 0.25% bupivacaine was accidentaly injected into the epidural space. The patient suddenly complained of an unexpected chest tightness and dyspnea after epidural injection. The patient was treated with steroids and local anesthetics via epidural space and recovered without any neurologic sequelae. The patient completely recovered on the 46th postadmission day and went home without any complaints. We report this case and review the accidental injection of substances into the epidural space.
