[Neurolytic blockade of the obturator nerve in the treatment of idiopatic obturator neuralgia].
Idiopathic obturator neuralgia is a rare chronic pain condition. It consists of pain radiating from the obturator nerve territory to the inner thigh. However, the symptomatic obturator neuralgia is commonly caused by the obturator canal bowel hernia that causes painful commpressive neuropathy in more than 85% of the cases. ⋯ Neurolitic blockade is an efficacious method in treating chronic pain caused by the idiopathic obturator neuralgia.

[Portable ultrasound devices in regional anesthesia: the brachial plexus block].
Ultrasonography has received increasing attention in regional anesthesia in recent years because it allows visualization of the nerves, the needle, and the surrounding structures and makes it possible to monitor distribution of the local anesthetic. Ultrasound technology is unfamiliar to most anesthesiologists, unless they work with transesophageal echocardiography. ⋯ Ultrasonography makes it possible to identify the brachial plexus, from the roots to the peripheral nerves of the arm. We describe the main approaches used in providing an ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block and explain the basic principles of ultrasound imaging.
