Chronic back and leg pain which is unresponsive to medical and/or surgical treatment is a common and difficult neurosurgical problem. Twelve patients with this condition underwent dorsal root entry zone coagulation of that region of the conus medullaris which correlated with the pain. Only 2 patients had a favorable result. The implications of this finding are discussed.
