Abstract
Epidural anesthesia is a safe procedure and is routinely performed by the anesthesiologists. Breakage of an epidural catheter is a rare, but a worrisome complication. However, if this happens, the presence of retained epidural catheter fragment should be properly documented and should also be informed to the surgical team and the patient. Here, we present two cases of such an event and also highlighting the common reasons that could have precipitated that event.
