Anatomic barriers to paraspinal blocks: a cadaver case series
Sandeep Diwan, Xavier Sala-Blanch, Abhijit Nair
Abstract
The paraspinal space is intriguing in nature. There are several needle tip placements described in compact anatomical spaces. This has led to an incertitude regarding the appropriate anatomic locations for needle tip positions. Through our cadaver models we try to resolve the issues surrounding needle tip positions clarifying anatomical spaces and barriers. Further we propose an anatomical classification based on our findings in cadaveric open dissections and cross and sagittal sections.
