Abstract
A very rare, but important, risk factor in placement of epidural catheters is skin reactions to the antiseptic solution, adhesive tape, or the catheter itself. We describe a case of a severe inflammatory cutaneous reaction after continuous epidural analgesia used after an abdominal perineal resection. We highlight the importance of making the proper diagnosis and initiating timely therapy.
