Chronic pelvic pain in patient with pelvic adhesions-role of neurolytic ganglion impar block : a case report

Abstract EN

Ganglion impar block is used to treat chronic pelvic and perineal pain conditions in case of pharmacotherapy failure to control pain.

In this case report, we present a neurolytic ganglion impar block as an effective method to control chronic pelvic pain resulting from post-surgical intra-pelvic adhesions in a 35-year-old female.

We used a fluoroscopy-guided trans-sacrococcygeal ganglion impar block due to its simplicity.

Pain level was evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS).

We conclude that the trans-sacrococcygeal ganglion impar block is a simple and effective method to treat chronic pelvic pain due to post-surgical intra-pelvic adhesions, thus decreasing the consumption of analgesic medications and sick leave days.
