Background: This case report describes a rare instance of drug‐induced aseptic meningitis after an interlaminar lumbar epidural steroid injection. Case Presentation: A 74 year‐old female patient presented to the ED post‐procedure day three after an L4‐L5 interlaminar lumbar epidural steroid injection with fever, nausea, and vomiting. The patient had previously undergone numerous lumbar epidurals without complications and used identical medications, which included 1% lidocaine, iohexol contrast, methylprednisolone (Depo‐medrol), and normal saline. Pertinent labs included a WBC of 15,000 cells/μL. Lumbar MRI revealed L4‐S1 aseptic arachnoiditis. Two bone scans with Gallium and T‐99 confirmed no infectious process. The patient then had a second admission months later with similar presenting symptoms and hospital course after repeating the lumbar epidural steroid injection. Lumbar MRI and CSF studies confirmed aseptic meningitis. Conclusion: This patient's repeated admissions from aseptic meningitis were likely caused by irritation of the meningeal layers from a medication used during the procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
