✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A cervical epidural catheter was placed in a 32‐month‐old girl suffering from painful bone metastases of a relapsing neuroblastoma in the left forearm. This therapeutic approach was chosen because oral morphine had failed to provide analgesia while producing intolerable side effects. The epidural injection of a mixture of morphine and bupivacaine provided complete analgesia with no side effects. This enabled the parents to take care of their child at home until the end, 35 days later. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
