Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) refers to the chronic neuropathic pain that persists beyond the initial varicella-zoster rash. Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are susceptible to infections because of decreased immunity. Various treatment strategies including pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and interventional techniques have been described in the literature. We report the successful management of PHN with lumbar erector spinae plane block in a patient of CLL.
带状疱疹后神经痛(PHN)是指在最初的水痘-带状疱疹皮疹消退后仍持续存在的慢性神经性疼痛。慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者由于免疫力下降而易发生感染。文献中描述了包括药物、非药物和介入技术在内的各种治疗策略。我们报告了1例CLL患者通过腰段竖脊肌平面阻滞成功治疗PHN的病例。
