  • Title: Cervical epidural analgesia for a cancer child at home.
    Author: Veyckemans F, Scholtes JL, Ninane J.
    Journal: Med Pediatr Oncol; 1994; 22(1):58-60. PubMed ID: 8232082.
    Abstract:
    A cervical epidural catheter was placed in a 32-month-old girl suffering from painful bone metastases of a relapsing neuroblastoma in the left forearm. This therapeutic approach was chosen because oral morphine had failed to provide analgesia while producing intolerable side effects. The epidural injection of a mixture of morphine and bupivacaine provided complete analgesia with no side effects. This enabled the parents to take care of their child at home until the end, 35 days later.
