Amaurosis and transient diplopia, a rare complication secondary to mandibular nerve block: A case report
Agri. 2024 Apr;36(2):129-132. doi: 10.14744/agri.2021.11129.ABSTRACTOcular complications are one of the rare side effects that can be seen after a mandibular nerve block and have the most dramatic results. Since the mandibular nerve block is mostly performed by dentists, this complication is mostly seen after an intraoral mandibular nerve block. The mandibular nerve is the third division of the trigeminal nerve. It is the most caudal and lateral part of Gasser's ganglion. It arises from the middle cranial fossa through the foramen ovale. In this region, a block method, which is performed by passing through the coronoid pro...

Fluoroscopy-guided triple hip block for patients with hip osteoarthritis: A new approach
Agri. 2024 Apr;36(2):120-122. doi: 10.14744/agri.2022.26878.ABSTRACTHip osteoarthritis (OA) is found in approximately 10% of the population and often causes disability and social limitations in elderly patients. Intra-articular injections are among the most frequently applied interventional treatments for the hip joint. Femoral and obturator sensorial nerve blocks have also been reported to be effective for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A single needle insertion was performed for the blockage of the hip joint and sensory branches. For the sensory branch of the femoral nerve, the needle is advanced at nearly a 4...

Pain type and neuropathic pain components in acute herpes zoster
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the study found that over half of the patients with acute HZ experienced neuropathic pain, and this was more frequently observed in female patients. Analysis of different components of neuropathic pain showed significant differences in age, gender, and site distribution. The findings of this study may have important implications for the manage-ment and treatment of acute HZ.PMID:38558392 | DOI:10.14744/agri.2023.03743 (Source: Agri Dergisi)

Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS): A valid and definitive therapeutical option for a case of anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES)
We report the case of a 41-year-old man suffering from ACNES of the 8th intercostal nerve for two years. We first performed two consecutive ultrasound-guided diagnostic blocks of the anterior cutaneous branch of the 8th intercostal right nerve and then elected the patient for ultrasound-guided nerve decompression followed by neuromodulation and pulsed-radiofrequency (PRF). Taking into account full employment, young age, and the likelihood of having to repeat the treatment several times, we considered him for Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) implantation under ultrasound guidance, and we implanted the wireless lead at the...
