Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can be associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disturbances including recurrent CSF leak and Chiari I malformations. Persistent pseudomeningoceles are known to be associated with raised intracranial pressure. We present an unusual case of a compressive epidural CSF collection occurring after a computed tomography-guided L5 nerve root block and describe an effective management strategy.
