Department of Anesthesia, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, and Veterans Administration Hospital, Palo Alto, California 94304, U.S.A.
Glossopharyngeal nerve block, with radiological control, was used to relieve severe pain due to oropharyngeal carcinoma. The clinical course of this patient illustrated the need for early block to obviate the development of narcotic addiction. General principles in the management of chronic pain due to malignancy, as illustrated by this report, are discussed.
