Epidural steroid injection (ESI) is one of the most common interventional procedures for the management of lumbar radicular or axial pain. Although generally safe, rare but devastating complications such as paraplegia can occur. We present two cases of irreversible lower extremity paralysis after ESI, in which previously unrecognized thoracic ligamentum flavum hypertrophy was identified as the underlying cause. Both patients developed acute motor weakness within hours after the procedure—one after interlaminar and the other after caudal ESI. Subsequent MRI revealed severe thoracic spinal cord compression caused by ligamentum flavum hypertrophy at T10–T12. Despite emergent decompressive laminectomy, both patients had persistent neurological deficits. These cases highlight that preexisting thoracic spinal pathology, such as ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, may predispose patients to irreversible spinal cord injury following ESI. Preprocedural neurological assessment and consideration of thoracic imaging in selected high-risk patients may help prevent such catastrophic outcomes.
