Abstract
|
|
|
Intrathecal phenol injection was done on 30 years old vegetative female with intractable spasticity in extremities using 10ml of 5% aqueous phenol solution at L3-L4 level.
Immediate release of the spasticity in lower extremities was obtained. After this procedure patients was kept in 60 degree upright position in one hour because the specific gravity of the phenol solution was greater(1.026) than that of the spinal
fluid(1.006).
No complication was observed up to 24 hours. Increasing denervation potentials were obtained in muscles of lower extremities sampled from 20 days to 40 days.
