The largest case series to date have included more than 2000 percutaneous ethanol or RFA blocks over a 13-year period using fluoroscopy with excellent success.63 On the other hand, the foramen ovale is often difficult to visualize using fluoroscopy alone. In recent times, CT-guided or CT-...
Radiography or intraoperative fluoroscopy is used to confirm the alignment of the occiput to the atlas and the remainder of the cervical spine. The skin is then prepared and the subcutaneous tissues injected with a solution of epinephrine 1:500,000. A midline incision is made, extending from ...
