Obturator Nerve Block with Botulinum Toxin Type B for Patient with Adductor Thigh Muscle Spasm -A Case Report-
نویسندگان
چکیده
Obturator nerve block has been commonly used for pain management to prevent involuntary reflex of the adductor thigh muscles. One of several options for this block is chemical neurolysis. Neurolysis is done with chemical agents. Chemical agents used in the neurolysis of the obturator nerve have been alcohol, phenol, and botulinum toxin. In the current case, a patient with spasticity of the adductor thigh muscle due to cervical cord injury had obturator nerve neurolysis done with botulinum toxin type B (BoNT-B). Most of the previous studies have used BoNT-A with only a few reports that have used BoNT-B. BoNT-B has several advantages and disadvantages over BoNT-A. Thus, we report herein a patient who successfully received obturator nerve neurolysis using BoNT-B to treat adductor thigh muscle spasm.

Two case reports of obturator nerve block for transurethral resection of bladder tumour.
This report describes two cases of severe adductor muscle spasm during transurethral resection of bladder tumours and subsequent successful management with the help of obturator nerve block. Obturator nerve blocks are useful during surgery to remove large, advanced tumours in the distal lateral wall of the bladder.
متن کاملSimplified technique for injection of Botulinum Toxin to Obturator Internus muscle using ultrasound‐guided nerve stimulation for persistent pelvic pain
Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections have been used to reduce muscle spasm in the presence of severe pelvic pain. However, while pubococcygeus is easily accessed vaginally, injection to obturator internus is more complex - with variation in operative technique and needle placement confounding the ability to assess outcomes. We describe a simplified technique for BoNT injection to obturator internu...
متن کاملOver 500 obturator nerve blocks in the lithotomy position during transurethral resection of bladder tumor
INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF THE STUDY Spinal anesthesia for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) does not prevent unintended stimulation of the obturator nerve when electroresection is performed on the lateral wall of the bladder. It results in muscle contraction of the adductor muscles of the thigh, which may lead to perforation of bladder wall with the resectoscope loop. The aim of the...
متن کاملLaryngeal dystonia: case report and treatment with botulinum toxin.
Laryngeal dystonia or spasmodic dysphonia is characterized by involuntary and inappropriate spasms of vocal muscles, having the adductor type as the most common one. It is characterized by strain-strangled voice with pitch breaks. Diagnosis is made by means of videolaryngostroboscopic exam. The treatment of choice is done with botulinum toxin directly injected in the muscles responsible for the...
متن کاملObturator nerve entrapment. A cause of groin pain in athletes.
Chronic groin pain in athletes is often difficult to diagnose and treat. There are many anatomic structures in the inguinal and groin region that have the potential to cause pain. We report 32 cases of a previously undescribed condition in athletes of "obturator neuropathy," a fascial entrapment of the obturator nerve where it enters the thigh. This condition represents a type of groin pain in ...
