La Sacrolumbalgia se caracteriza por la presencia de dolor agudo o crónico de la columna lumbosacra provocado por diferentes causas que se acompaña frecuentemente de dolor irradiado o referido. Los corticoides son los antiinflamatorios más eficaces: pueden inhibir las manifestaciones inmediatas y tardías de la inflamación, inhiben la vasodilatación, disminuyen la trasudación líquida y el edema, reducen el exudado celular y el depósito de fibrina en el área inflamada. En este artículo, se hablará de las ultimas actualizaciones en manejo de la sacrolumbagia por vía epidural, según sus características clínicas la causa de dicho dolor, se hizo una revisión de aproximadamente 300-400 artículos entre 2018 y enero de 2021 en la base de datos de Pubmed, encontrándose que los diferentes tipos de corticoides son los
más usados en las técnicas que se manejan para sacrolumbalgia vía epidural.
