The study was conducted on 12 healthy male buffalo calves weighing between 50 to 60 Kg to evaluate haemato-biochemical alterations after epidural injection of dexmedetomidine alone and in combination with bupivacaine. Haematological examination showed nonsignificant alterations. Biochemical examination showed significant increase in blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine while there was nonsignificant alterations in total protein and alkaline phosphatase. All haemato-biochemical changes were transient and compensatory.

Subarachnoid-pleural fistulas (SPFs) are rare clinical entities that occur after severe thoracic trauma or iatrogenic injury during anterolateral approaches to the spine. Treatment of these fistulas often entails open repair of the dural defect. The authors present the case of an SPF in a 2-year-old female after a penetrating injury to the chest. The diagnosis of an SPF was suspected given the high chest tube output and was confirmed with a positive β2-transferrin test of the chest tube fluid, as well as visualization of dural defects on MRI. The dural defects were successfully repaired with CT-guided percutaneous epidural injection of fibrin glue alone. This case represents the youngest pediatric patient with a traumatic SPF to be treated percutaneously. This technique can be safely used in pediatric patients, offers several advantages over open surgical repair, and could be considered as an alternative first-line therapy for the obliteration of SPFs.
