Arachnoiditis after COVID-Positive Epidural Blood Patch: A Case for Ketamine

Thursday, November 13, 2025
2:26 PM - 2:34 PM CT
Location: 301 - 302
Introduction: Arachnoiditis is an exceedingly rare yet severe complication of epidural blood patch procedures. With only seven previously published cases, it is difficult to estimate the incidence of arachnoiditis after blood patch. Furthermore, the risks of administering an autologous blood patch in a COVID-positive patient are largely theoretical, given the paucity of reported cases.
