CT-directed perineural infiltration in the localization of radicular pain in a patient with neurofibromatosis

Abstract

Computed tomography-guided infiltration of lumbar or sacral nerve roots with local anaesthetic can be a valuable aid in localizing the spinal level from which radicular pain originates, especially when multiple abnormalities are present. This is illustrated by the case of a young woman with neurofibromatosis complaining of sciatica.
