Fever following an Epidural Blood Patch in a Child
Figure 1
(a) Head CT of our patient the day before the EBP was performed. CSF leak resulted in large bifrontal fluid collections. (b) Head CT of the same patient the day after the EBP. The extradural CSF collection is significantly smaller in size. A possible explanation for this finding is the effect of the EBP on the intracranial pressure (as evidenced by the increased intraventricular space) prohibiting further leakage through an existent frontal tear on the dura.
