A case for ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve stimulation in intractable anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome

Aim: This case report documents the use of peripheral nerve stimulation in the setting of entrapment of the anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves, with pain rated by the patient as severe during exacerbation episodes. Materials & methods: Under ultrasound guidance, two permanent leads were implanted caudad to cephalad, along and superficial to the lateral aspect of the rectus abdominis, distal to the umbilicus (1 lead per side). Results: At the 6 month follow-up, the patient reported near complete resolution of baseline pain, as well as fewer, sporadic pain exacerbation episodes, rated as mild-to-moderate. Conclusion: This case report suggests that peripheral nerve stimulation might be a valuable treatment option for previously intractable abdominal pain due to entrapment of the anterior cutaneous branches.
