Abstract

In response to the remarks from Gan et al.1 concerning our article, “Acute Spinal Epidural Hematoma After Acupuncture: Case Report and Literature Review,” 2 we would like to highlight the following important points. Regarding the precise acupuncture technique performed in the case reported in the article, we decided to report exactly what explained by the acupuncturist concerning both the entry points and the needles employed. A higher level of accuracy could not be reached because 4 months had passed from the time of the acupuncture treatment to our interview with the acupuncturist, and no detailed report about this treatment was ever compiled.
