The stellate ganglion refers to the ganglion formed by fusion of the inferior cervical and the first thoracic ganglion. Stellate ganglion blockade is a procedure mainly used for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic painful syndromes. This technique with local anesthetic is a safe procedure, his risk, though infrequent; include seizures, pneumothorax, spinal block and others. These complications can be minimized with adequate monitoring, surveillance and resources in order to diagnostic and treatment of complications. We present a case with spinal block following stellate ganglion blockade.
