Intractable chest and abdominal wall pain responds well to root surgery. But it is better to perform this procedure less invasively with less complications. Cryoanalgesia has been developed to relieve several neurogenic pain without causing irrversible nerve damage. Well-selected percutaneous cryoablative procedure could be one of the technique of choice for some chronic pains because it has the advantage of easy application without any remarkable side effect. We did percutaneous cryoneurolysis of the spinal nerve root at the thoracic level to treat one patient with severe cancer pain on the chest wall(T4, 5, and 8 dermatomes) after successful percutaneous radiofrequency T6 and T7 posterior root rhizotomy. This procedure was performed under fluoroscopic guidance. We advanced 2 mm cryoprobe to the posterior, superior aspect of vertebral foramen on lateral view until the patient felt paresthesia. 3 times of 2 minutes freezing was applied to each spinal nerve root. The patient got immediate pain relief without any side effect.
