摘要
The breakage of the epidural catheter is an alarming, rare, yet well-known complication. Despite the advances in modern imaging technologies, visualization of the broken catheter remains challenging, and surgical intervention might be necessary to remove the broken catheter. We report a case of a broken epidural catheter post -vaginal delivery, which was managed by surgical intervention.
