Oral cancers are one of the most common cancers in India. These patients have pain during the course of the disease. Various drugs including opioid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug have been used to manage pain. However, these are associated with side effects such as constipation and vomiting. An early interventional block may decrease the requirement for analgesics and improve the overall quality of life. We describe a case of oral carcinoma successfully managed with ultrasound-guided pterygopalatine block.
口腔癌是印度最常见的癌症之一。这些患者在疾病过程中会出现疼痛。包括阿片类药物和非甾体抗炎药在内的各种药物已被用于控制疼痛。然而，这些药物会带来便秘和呕吐等副作用。早期介入性阻滞可能会减少镇痛药的需求并改善整体生活质量。我们描述了一例通过超声引导翼腭神经节阻滞成功治疗的口腔癌病例。
