RESTREPO GARCES, CE et al. Retrolaminar ultrasound guided block as analgesic treatment for post herpetic neuralgia: case report. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.6, pp.350-353.  Epub 25-Abr-2022. ISSN 1134-8046.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2022.3920/2021.

Interfacial plane blocks (IPB) are the result of the injection of an anesthetic locally in the space created between two fasciae with the purpose of distributing the volume of the medication and block the transmission of the corresponding nerves. The introduction of IPB as an analgesic anesthetic technic is relatively resent, and its widespread and standardization this last few years has come by hand of the ultrasound, as a result the safety and efficiency of the IPB has increased. The retrolaminar block (RB) and the Spinal erector plane block (SPB) share characteristics and could be considered as an alternative to manage the thoracic wall pain pathologies, keeping in mind that the RB is of choice for patients in danger of suffering a pneumothorax or in those in which there is an inappropriate anatomic visualization though the echography for the SPB. In this article a case of a patient with acute neuralgia due to herpes zoster who received a successful RB is described.
