Popis: A 62 year-old woman with chronic perineal pain was successfully managed by chemical neurolysis. When she was referred to us, other practitioners had already investigated her. However, the cause of pain was not identified and the pain was refractory to conventional analgesic treatment. She underwent caudal block with 0.25% bupivacaine 5 ml six times to avoid placebo response of the block prior to therapeutic neurolysis. Then, block of the ganglion impar with phenol water under fluoroscopy was performed. Six months later, she still has no pain.
