Abstract: Stellate ganglion block is an established intervention used in pain management settings. Its use in the treatment of congenital venous malformations ( VM) of the upper limb has never been described. We present a case of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block for a patient who derived excellent relief from pain uncontrolled with conservative and pharmacological methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
