Özet
Epidural analgesia is a valuable modality in managing cancer-related pain, particularly when systemic therapies are insufficient or poorly tolerated. This letter presents a case of technically challenging epidural catheterization in a patient with vertebral metastases, emphasizing the procedural difficulties posed by altered spinal anatomy and prior neuraxial interventions.
