PurposeTo assess the value of CT guided dual site infiltration in patients with pudendal neuralgia and determine prognostic factors of efficacy. Materials and methods. Retrospective review of 49 patients with suspected pudendal neuralgia who underwent one or multiple injections of local anesthetics and steroids. Patients were classified based on clinical and electrophysiological findings.Results70% of patients with typical symptoms of pudendal neuralgia responded favorably to the infiltrations compared to 27% of patients with atypical symptoms (p<0.05). The mean number of infiltrations was 2.2. 84% of responding patients experienced symptomatic relief after the first infiltration. The mean duration of symptomatic relief was 3 months.ConclusionInfiltration is an effective treatment for patients with typical pudendal neuralgia, and should be included in the management of these patients.
