We reported a case of a 46-year-old female who had topographical change of the neck following bilateral neck dissection. She experienced the pain from the neck to the upper arm. We diagnosed the pain as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and we tried to perform stellate ganglion block (SGB) therapy.
We ascertained no neoplasm nor abnormal structure through the pathway of block-needle by ultrasonogram. Then we performed C6-SGB with local anesthetic and contrast medium. We got images by X-ray and CT scanning, and ascertained the effectiveness and safety of SGB therapy. The pain decreased to the pain, the patient could endure at the third treatment of SGB.
