Abstract
Inability to remain motionless owing to pain during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may increase the need for sedation and analgesia. Here, we present a case where ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) was used successfully for pain management during an MRI in a patient suffering from severe sacral pain. Sacral ESPB was performed with a total of 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine at the level of the intermediate sacral crest. The patient achieved sensory block in the L5-S4 dermatomes without motor block, resulting in complete pain relief. This case report highlights the feasibility of ultrasound-guided sacral ESPB as a potential pain management technique.
