We describe a case of intrapleural misplacement of thoracic epidural in a 50-year-old man status-post bilateral lung transplant and highlight the use of radiographic techniques to identify the misplacement.Keywords: epidural analgesia, lung transplant, postoperative complicationsWu JChung PWu EHZhang KKomatsu RDove Medical Pressarticleepidural analgesialung transplantpostoperative complicationsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Medical Case Reports Journal, Vol Volume 14, Pp 823-828 (2021)
