AbstractSurgical treatment of intractable visceral pain has always been a challenge. The relatively recent discovery of a specific visceral pain pathway brought a new insight to this matter. The authors describe a new technique to interrupt this pathway, the CT-guided percutaneous punctate midline myelotomy, successfully applied in two patients with intractable pelvic visceral pain. Due to its simplicity, safety and high effectiveness, it may become the treatment of choice for intractable visceral pain.Copyright 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel
