Chronic Cervical Radiculopathy: Lateral-Approach Periradicular Corticosteroid Injection1

Jean-Noël Vallée, MD, Antoine Feydy, MD, Robert Y. Carlier, MD, Celine Mutschler, MD, Dominique Mompoint, MD and Christian A. Vallée, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, Raymond Poincaré Teaching Hospital, University of Paris 5, 104 Blvd Raymond Poincaré, 92380 Garches, France. Received February 10, 2000; revision requested April 18; revision received July 5; accepted August 2. Address correspondence to C.A.V. (e-mail: christian.vallee@rpc.ap-hop-paris.fr).

Thirty-two patients underwent periradicular corticosteroid injections with a lateral percutaneous approach under fluoroscopic guidance, to treat 34 foci of chronic cervical radiculopathy unresponsive to medical treatment alone. The mean evolutionary trends for radicular and neck pain relief were significant at 14 days (P < .001) and at 6 months (P < .001). The procedure did not produce any complications.
