만성 미골통 환자에 대한 신경차단 - 증례보고 -

Coccygodynia is severe burning pain around the coccyx and idiopathic coccygodynia refers to the forms of coccygeal pain that are not associated with well defined pathological conditions, such as recent fractures, dislocation, infectious diseases, or tumors of the coccyx. We experienced a case of coccygodynia in which patient had suffered from intermittent severe pain around the coccyx for nine years without a well defined cause. So coccygeal nerve block and low caudal blocks were performed with local anesthetics and steroid and the pain was controlled effectively.
