Abstract

We describe a patient who developed an immobilizing lumbovertebral syndrome after an extradural blood patch and who was hospitalized with a suspected extradural abscess. An infectious aetiology of the persistent backache could be excluded and the patient recovered with analgesics and physiotherapy. The probable aetiology is discussed.
