    AbstractErector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel block where local anesthetic is deposited between the erector spinae muscle and the underlying transverse process.

We report the case of a patient treated with ESPB for a complex regional pain syndrome, complicated by the development of a priapism.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
