Abstract

In the early years of regional anesthesia, the nerve block technique was closely related to the injection of cocaine into the nerve, this behavior being known as “intraneural injection.” Thus, Victor Pauchet, in his book L’Anesthesie Regionale, defines what happens after an intended intraneural injection: “…A fusiform enlargement of the nerve ensues that disappears quickly. The injectate diffuses along both sides, that is why an intraneural injection can exit through the branches that leave the nerve close to the injection site….” These signs have recently been reconsidered as signs of intraneural injection.
