Torasik Herpes Zostere Bağlı Ağrı Olgusunda Ultrasonografi Rehberliğinde Erektör Spina Plan Bloğu

Herpes Zoster, varisella zoster virüsün reaktivasyonu sonucu ağrı ve döküntüler ile seyreden bir hastalık olup immun sistemin baskılandığı durumlarda görülme sıklığı artar. Akut faz ağrısının tedavi edilmesi aynı zamanda ileride gelişebilecek olan postherpetik nevraljiyi önlemede etkilidir. Son yıllarda uygulanmaya başlanan ultrasonografi eşliğinde erektör spina düzlem bloğu akut herpes zoster ağrı tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Algoloji kliniğimizde başarılı bir şekilde USG rehberliğinde ESPB uyguladığımız 63 yaşında torasik zonaya bağlı akut ağrısı olan hastayı sunuyoruz.

Ultrasound Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block In Thoracıc Herpes Zoster Related Pain Management

Herpes Zoster (HZ) is a disease characterized by pain and rash resulting from the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The disease incidence increases when the immune system is compromised. Treatment of pain in the acute phase is an effective approach also to prevent postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which may develop further. The ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (USG-guided ESPB) has recently been introduced for use in the treatment of acute herpes zoster pain. We, hereby, present a 63-year-old patient with rectum cancer, who underwent USG-guided ESPB in our algology clinic for the treatment of acute pain due to thoracic zoster.
