Phenol Lumbar Sympathetic Block for Buerger's Disease

제1족지단(第一足趾端)에 심한 통증(痛症)과 궤양(潰瘍)으로 입원한 31세(歲)의 Buerger 병(病) 환자(患者)에 X-선조(線造) 영하(影下)에서 7% phenol을 사용한 제(第)1, 2 및 3 요부교감신경절차단(腰部交感神經節遮斷)을 시행하였다. 교감신경절차단후(交感神經節遮斷後) 족지(足趾)의 통증완화(痛症緩和)와 온감(溫感)을 느낄 수 있었으며 이후 2회(回)의 2.5% bupivacaine을 이용한 경막외강차단(硬膜外腔遮斷) 후 통증(痛症)소실과 함께 순환혈류(循環血流) 개선(改善)을 plethysmogram으로 확인할 수 있어서 성공적인 교감신경절차단술(交感神經節遮術)이 시행됐다고 볼 수 있어 문헌적(文獻的) 고찰(考察)과 함께 보고(報告)하는 바이다.

Phenol sympathetic block is valuable for the treatment of ischemic pain, gangrene, intermittent claudication, Paget's disease of the bone and pain associated with pancreatitis, pancreatic carcinoma, etc. The author has experienced a case of successful lumber sympathetic block using 7% phenol under fluoroscopy and given to a patient with Buerger's disease who had severe pain and ulceration of the right great toe for several years.
