Hiccups, facial flushing and hypertension after lumbar epidural steroid injection: A case report

ABSTRACT

Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are commonly used for managing radicular pain. They are generally considered to be a safe treatment with a low incidence of complications, which may be very mild and transient symptoms. We describe here one case of a delayed onset of hiccups, facial flushing and hypertension associated with a lumbar epidural steroid injection.
