Abstract

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure performed to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots in the neck. Effective pain management is crucial for optimal postoperative recovery. Superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for head and neck surgeries. This case report describes the successful use of ultrasound-guided SCPB for ACDF in a patient with a herniated nucleus pulposus. In this study, a 48-year-old male patient presented with lower extremity weakness and hypoesthesia following a fall. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a herniated nucleus pulposus at the C5-6 level. The patient underwent ACDF surgery under ultrasound-guided SCPB. Levobupivacaine 0.5% 10 cc was administered bilaterally. The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no complications or adverse events. Postoperative pain was effectively managed with SCPB, and the patient's neurological symptoms improved significantly. In conclusion, ultrasound-guided SCPB is a safe and effective anesthetic technique for ACDF surgery in patients with herniated nucleus pulposus. It provides adequate pain control, reduces opioid requirements, and facilitates early mobilization and recovery.

Abstract

The anesthetic management of a third-trimester pregnant patient with a concurrent traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a surgical fracture presents a profound clinical dilemma. The conflicting demands of maternal neuroprotection, fetal stability, and surgical anesthesia necessitate a carefully considered approach, as standard general anesthesia carries significant risks for both mother and fetus. A 25-year-old female at 28 weeks’ gestation presented after a motor vehicle accident with a displaced right clavicle fracture and a TBI characterized by a clinically mild presentation (Glasgow Coma Scale 14) and a radiologically significant acute subdural hemorrhage. To provide surgical anesthesia for open reduction and internal fixation while circumventing the risks of general anesthesia, a primary regional anesthetic was performed. An ultrasound-guided single-shot interscalene brachial plexus block, supplemented with a superficial cervical plexus block, provided dense surgical anesthesia. This technique ensured remarkable maternal hemodynamic stability, maintained a reassuring Category I fetal heart tracing throughout, and completely avoided intraoperative systemic opioids and sedatives. The postoperative course was notable for excellent, opioid-sparing analgesia and an uncomplicated recovery for both mother and infant. In conclusion, this case provides an illustrative example of how a meticulously executed regional anesthetic technique can serve as a primary and potentially superior modality in this high-risk patient population. It successfully navigated the competing pathophysiological demands, suggesting that regional anesthesia should be a first-line consideration in select, complex trauma scenarios involving pregnancy and TBI.
