Article Synopsis
- Peritoneal tuberculosis can look like other diseases, which makes it hard to diagnose, and it needs more awareness for early treatment.
- A 25-year-old woman had bad stomach pain and lost a lot of weight, and was thought to have ovarian cancer at first.
- After more tests, she actually had peritoneal tuberculosis, and she got better after 6 months of treatment.
Background And Objectives: On the basis of reported immediate and short-term excruciating pain by patients in the post-procedural period of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) in our clinic, we present our initial clinical experience with a novel combi-therapy using a combination of CT-guided PLDD and CT-guided epidural nerve blocks, which proved effective in managing the pain.
Study Design/materials And Methods: A total of 100 patients who met the criteria for PLDD, underwent treatment for lumbar discogenic radiculopathy between 2014 and 2017. Fifty-five percent of the patients were males and 45% were females with a mean age of 46.
