Neuropathy of dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) following neck dissections or radiotherapy has not been reported so far nor has its treatment in the form of hydro-dissection. Hydro-dissection of nerve under ultrasound guidance has been receiving more attention in the recent past and it is a minimally invasive procedure. We report here a case of neuropathy of DSN following radiotherapy in a patient for whom we could at least provide pain relief as a palliative measure during his last 6 months of life.
迄今为止,尚未有颈部解剖或放疗后肩胛背神经(DSN)神经病变的相关报道,也没有关于其水分离治疗形式的报道。近年来,超声引导下的神经水分离术受到了更多关注,这是一种微创手术。我们在此报告一例放疗后DSN神经病变的病例,在该患者生命的最后6个月里,我们至少能够通过姑息治疗措施缓解其疼痛。
