| Abstract |
|
Spinal metastasis is common in patients with cancer, as the spine is the third most common site for metastasis of lung cancer. A 58-year-old woman was suffering from pain in her both legs due to spinal metastasis of lung cancer. She was treated with various nerve blocks including lumbar epidural block, and continuous epidural block with morphine, subarachnoid alcohol block, and with opioid medication. None of these treatments were effective for the pain, but spinal cord stimulation produced excellent results. |
