Case ReportsSuccessful management of pleuritic pain with thoracic paravertebral block.
Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is a unilateral analgesic technique that has been advocated in both acute and chronic thoracic and abdominal pain. Other blocks such as interpleural and epidural can be effectively used in pleuritic pain.
