Retrograde cervical insertion of spinal cord stimulator in persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2 in patient with fusion from sacrum to <scp>T10</scp>

Here, we present another case in the literature of a permanently placed SCS performed in the retrograde fashion by an interventional chronic pain physician. Though the technique was off label, the retrograde approach offered the patient significant relief when all other treatment modalities failed. Despite the effective use of the retrograde approach, more studies are needed, including guidelines as to when to offer the retrograde approach for patients with inaccessible anatomy for a typical anterograde technique.

Abstract

Here, we present another case in the literature of a permanently placed SCS performed in the retrograde fashion by an interventional chronic pain physician. Though the technique was off label, the retrograde approach offered the patient significant relief when all other treatment modalities failed. Despite the effective use of the retrograde approach, more studies are needed, including guidelines as to when to offer the retrograde approach for patients with inaccessible anatomy for a typical anterograde technique.
