#teachingimages The epidural space is likely contiguous with surrounding fascial planes! Shown here is spinal needle placement outside the L5/S1 neuroforamen, but presumably in erector spinal plane, yielding epidural contrast spread.

I enjoyed learning about @MDAndersonNews Global Oncology efforts during this morning's Division Grand Rounds. Thank you to @kmschmeler and @SDPB04 for their engaging presentations
