Repeated intrathecal application of the sustained release steroid Triamcinolone Acetonide (TCA) is beneficial in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients [1]. Particularly, patients with spinal lesions often show a distinct benefit with a three fold increase of the maximum walking distance [2]. This therapy ameliorates walking distance, improves upper limb function and reduces spastic symptoms [1]. The putative regenerative effect may result from declined synthesis of the repulsive guidance molecule A [3]. Visualization of air bubbles after a TCA injection prompted this case report.
