To the Editor： A lumbar epidural block is used to treat patients with a herniated intervertebral disc, spinal stenosis, or lumbosacral radiculopathy. This approach reduces radicular pain by decreasing inflammation of nerve roots through epidural corticosteroid injection. Patients with moderate-to-severe spinal stenosis who taking various anticoagulant agents have more risk for epidural hematoma.
