Abstract

Migration of an epidural catheter into either paravertebral tissues or pleural cavity has already been described. Up to now, no case of passage of peritoneal fluid into the epidural space has been reported. Here we report such an event in a patient submitted to pelvic exenteration, and discuss its diagnosis and management.
