Pulsed radiofrequency treatment of piriformis syndrome in a pregnant patient with malignant mesenchymal tumor

Kanser üreme çağındaki kadınlarda daha sık görülür. Bu hastalarda tanı, tedavi yöntemleri ve tanısal tedavinin güvenirliliği çok önemlidir. Bu olguda, malign mezenkimal tümörlü bir gebenin ağrı tedavisinin yönetimi sunuldu. Malign mezenkimal tümör tanısı olan 30 haftalık gebe (23 yaş) sağ arka uyluk ve sağ kalça ağrısı nedeniyle ayaktan tedavi amacıyla başvurdu. Tanısal priformis bloğu uygulaması sonrası ağrıda azalma oldu. Radyofrekans uygulamaları kanserli gebelerde anne-bebek güvenliği olan ve nörodestrüktif olmayan bir yöntem olduğundan tercih edilebilir.

Malign mezenkimal tümörlü bir gebede priformis sendromuna puls radyofrekans uygulaması

Cancer is frequently seen in women of reproductive age. Diagnosis, management of treatment, and safety of the therapeutic approach are particularly important for these patients. Presently described is pain management in a case of pregnancy with malignant mesenchymal tumor. A 23-year-old woman in 30th gestational week presented with severe pain in right hip and back of the right thigh. Piriformis block successfully decreased pain and was followed by pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) to the piriformis muscle. PRF, as a non-neurodestructive method, is a safe and effective method to treat cancer pain in a pregnant patient.
