Abstract

The use of extradural (epidural) steroids in the management of selected cases of lumbosciatic syndrome is well known.1,2 This paper reports the appearance of systemic side‐effects in four cases after each had received an injection of 6–10 ml of methylprednisolone and 0·25% bupivacaine into the extradural space at the site nearest to the affected nerve roots.
