epiduraalruumi

Epidural space, also known as epidural ruumi, is a potential space located between the dura mater and the vertebral bodies in the spinal column. It is a critical anatomical area for various medical procedures, particularly epidural anesthesia and epidural steroid injections. The epidural space contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is surrounded by the dura mater, which is the outermost layer of the meninges. This space is accessed through a needle puncture, typically between the second and third lumbar vertebrae, to administer medications or perform diagnostic procedures. The epidural space is a crucial area for pain management and the treatment of certain neurological conditions. Understanding the anatomy and function of the epidural space is essential for healthcare professionals involved in spinal procedures.
