✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Intercostal neuralgia may develop following breast augmentation. The authors describe a woman who suffered 2 years of severe pain associated with cutaneous hypaesthesia in a T3‐T5 distribution. Serial, placebo‐controlled T3‐T5 dorsal root nerve blocks provided temporary pain relief. The patient experienced immediate and lasting pain relief (34 months) following bilateral T3‐T5 dorsal rhizotomies. This case provides anectdotal evidence that dorsal rhizotomy is a beneficial intervention for refractory intercostal neuralgia. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. Microsurgery, 2011.
