Abstract

Pain deriving from vertebral fractures may become chronic, and occasionally refractory to oral treatment or invasive processes, such as vertebral augmentation. We describe the case of a patient with chronic pain due to vertebral compression, who was successfully treated with cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves in the mild axillary line “modified” block. We conclude that this technique could be helpful, especially in those cases of dorsal vertebral injuries, with radiating pain to the chest wall.
