Abstract
- Intrathecal phenol-glycerin block is a potent tool in stepwise approach to intractable perineal pain. At outpatient clinic, intrathecal phenol-glycerin block have been frequently used to control the cancer pain, as this procedure does not require special equipment. However, undesirable effects may occur with any given intrathecal injection. Although most side effects do not last long, they deserve well to prevent. Recently, we have been controlled the perineal and perianal cancer pain with intrathecal phenol-glycerin block without any specific complications. However, one patient we managed experienced that one patient, with this procedure for chronic non-malignant perineal pain control experience gait disturbance and one-week of voiding and defication difficulties. This research reports these practices, including the review of literature.
