| Abstract |
|
Although single-shot caudal blockade is known as a relatively safe procedure, it is not always without complications. We present a case of accidental bladder puncture that was identified with fluoroscopy by chance after single-shot caudal blockade in a 17-months-old, 12 kg boy who underwent inguinal hernioplasty. |
