Per Lundy et al, the AP diameter of the thecal sac at S1 should be greater than at L4.
However, dural ectasia and vertebral scalloping can also occur in the lumbar spine.

Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is on the rise, but evidence for optimal use and certain indications is still emerging. ⚡️📊
Our survey uncovers big differences in practice patterns! Understanding these variances is key to driving PNS forward. 🔑

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
