Abstract

Epidural granuloma may develop as a complication during long-term use of intrathecal analgesics. To the best of our knowledge, it is not mentioned in the current literature that discontinuation of therapy may cause a regression of epidural granulation and clinical symptoms. In this case, we aimed to present spontaneous regression of epidural granuloma within 2 months after removal of epidural port.
