ABSTRACT
Involvement of the peripheral nerveous system by diabetes is referred to as diabetic neuropathy. The frequency of diabetic neuropathy ranges from 5% to 60% and the pain management is one of the greatest problem. The patient was a 57-year-old man who has been treated with diabetes(DM type IIa) for about 12 years. The symmetrical pain, swelling and sensory loss on feet were started 3 months before admission and the burning pain was intensified at night with resultant insomnia. The systoms were aggravated 1 month ago and they were not relieved by any medication and physical therapy. We attempted lumbar epidural block to the patient and the result was good. So we performed a permanent lumbar sympathetic ganglion block with neurolytics(99.9% alcohol) for the long term relief of pain. The patient was satisfied with the result of the block and discharged.
