Abstract
- Coccygodynia is a pain syndrome resulting from trauma, fractures, infection and tumor, and is usually amenable to conservative treatment. We present one case of coccygodynia that developed 2 days after percutaneous cordotomy done for pain control of cervix cancer unresponsive to conservative treatment which subsequently was treated with a caudal injection of lidocaine and triamcinolone. Caudal epidural steroid injection is less invasive and has less potential for complication than the neurosurgical interruption of the pain pathway.
