Percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis (PEA) is a minimal invasive procedure to relieve sciatalgia caused by post lumbar surgery syndrome (PLSS). Fluoroscopic-guided contrast-epidurography is essential to ensure a safe procedure. We present a case of a 28-year-old male patient who underwent a PEA which was complicated by a dural puncture. We highlight the dangers of such complications and discuss associated risk factors.
