Red Herring: A Case of Erythema Following Implantation of a Baclofen Intrathecal Pump

Friday, November 14, 2025
3:54 PM - 4:02 PM CT
Location: Griffin Hall - Screen 02
Introduction: Intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS) are highly effective for management of spasticity and chronic cancer-associated and non-cancer pain.1 IDDS implantation involves surgically placing a reservoir pump, often underneath the skin of the abdominal wall, which infuses medication into the intrathecal space via catheter. One feared complication of the procedure is pump infection2, thus differentiation between localized infections and other causes of erythema is crucial to prevent unnecessary IDDS explantation and medication interruption.
