  • Title: Crossed transvertebral puncture to block spinal ganglion in treatment of pain.
    Author: Kolarík J, Nádvorník P, Dvorák M, Andrs M.
    Journal: Zentralbl Neurochir; 1988; 49(3):185-8. PubMed ID: 2977250.
    Abstract:
    A simple and highly efficient percutaneous method eliminating the spinal ganglion and its posterior spinal cord root in treating metameric pain is described. Monitored by X-ray the needle crosses the vertebral canal passing e.g. from the right into the left intervertebral space. The intervention itself is made by a mesocaine alcohol block. The first experience with 12 patients is favourable in postdiscotomic syndromes or lumbar and causalgic pains in lower extremities having no mechanical cause discovered by CT.
