  • 摘要:

    Pudendal nerve block (PNB) is performed for differential diagnosis and treatment of chronic pelvic and perineal pain. Several block methods, such as transvaginal, transperineal, computerized tomography-, ultrasound- and fluoroscopy-guided approach are currently under practice. Compared to others, a fluoroscopy-guided approach has several advantages, such as its relatively low cost, facility and ease of landmark recognition. We depicted a fluoroscopy-guided PNB technique to selectively block and elaborate a pulsed radiofrequency treatment in a 51-year-old man with chronic pelvic and perineal pain. The patient had undergone a ganglion of impar block with a limited pain relief. Thereafter, a PNB was performed and the pain was relieved significantly for 2 weeks. Further PNB with a pulsed radiofrequency treatment reduced the pain for more than 8 weeks. The pain relief sustained up to the time of this report. The fluoroscopy-guided PNB and pulsed radiofrequency treatment allowed simplicity in manipulation and precision in performing the procedures with a favorable outcome.
