Ventricular Pneumocephalus with Meningitis after Lumbar Nerve Root Block
Lumbar nerve root block is a common modality used in the management of radiculopathy. Its complications are rare and usually minor. Despite its low morbidity, significant acute events can occur. Pneumocephalus is an accumulation of air in the intracranial space. It indicates a violation of the dura or the presence of infection. The object of this report is to describe the case of a patient with...
متن کاملTransverse Process and Needles of Medial Branch Block to Facet Joint as Landmarks for Ultrasound-Guided Selective Nerve Root Block
BACKGROUND Selective lumbar nerve root block (SNRB) is generally accepted as an effective treatment method for back pain with sciatica. However, it requires devices producing radioactive materials such as C-arm fluoroscopy. This study evaluated the usefulness of the longitudinal view of transverse process and needles for medial branch block as landmarks under ultrasonography. METHODS We perfo...

متن کاملUltrasound-guided lumbar facet nerve block: accuracy of a new technique confirmed by computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Lumbar facet nerve (medial branch) blocks are often used to diagnose facet joint-mediated pain. The authors recently described a new ultrasound-guided methodology. The current study determines its accuracy using computed tomography scan controls. METHODS Fifty bilateral ultrasound-guided approaches to the lumbar facet nerves were performed in five embalmed cadavers. The target poin...
متن کاملcomparison of combined femoral nerve block and spinal anesthesia with lumbar plexus block for postoperative analgesia in intertrochanteric fracture surgery
background hip fracture–related pain both before and after surgery is generally reported as severe by most patients. various regional pain control modalities have been described in order to reduce pain in these patients. objectives because of the challenges of lumbar plexus block (lpb) and the fact that the effect of combined femoral nerve block/spinal anesthesia in controlling pain after ortho...
