  Fig. 1 (A) Thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging showing acute/subacute T6 vertebral fracture. (B) Sonographic image for short axis erector spinae plane (ESP) block. (C) Needle pathway to target on the junction of the transverse process (TP) and the erector spinae muscle. (D) Fluid below the erector spinae muscle (ESM). (E) Needle tip at the retrolaminar level, showing fluid pushing the ESM. (F) Cold and pinprick response after the block. SP: spinous process.
