Abstract

Lumbar interlaminar epidural injections are commonly performed for a variety of spinal pain disorders. They are specifically indicated for radicular symptoms with or without axial pain experienced because of a lumbosacral etiology. Because the injectate disperses over a larger area with interlaminar epidural injection than with transforaminal injection, this type of injection is typically used for bilateral or multilevel symptoms.

Lumbar interlaminar epidural injections are commonly performed for a variety of spinal pain disorders. They are specifically indicated for radicular symptoms with or without axial pain experienced because of a lumbosacral etiology. Because the injectate disperses over a larger area with interlaminar epidural injection than with transforaminal injection, this type of injection is typically used for bilateral or multilevel symptoms.

With the approach described here, the needle is placed with the use of a trajectory view and advanced with the use of multiplanar imaging, with emphasis on safely using the contralateral oblique (CLO) and/or lateral view to confirm the depth by visualizing the ventral interlaminar line (VILL) or spinolaminar line, respectively.

The CLO view is preferable to the lateral view in advancing the needle to gain access to the interlaminar space. The role of the CLO view is especially preferable to the lateral view, as discussed in ...
