Abstract

|
|
|
Coccygodynia is a common problem that is characterized by pain in the tailbone that radiates to the lower sacral and perineal areas.Coccygodynia may occur after a fall in the sitting position or damage to the sacrococcygeal ligament during a difficult vaginal delivery.Currently, the therapeutic options for coccygodynia are unclear, however, a number of treatment approaches have been proposed.In this case a favorable outcome was obtained by using a radiofrequency lesion generator to create a lesion on the ganglion impar in a patient with chronic coccygodynia.
