A novel technique of multiple-site epidural blood patch administration for the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia
Abstract
An epidural blood patch (EBP) is a widely accepted standard procedure to treat CSF hypovolemia, especially when the epidural CSF leak is detected by spinal MRI or CT myelography (CTM).
