초록
Histologically, Schmorl’s nodes are defined as the loss of nuclear material through the cartilage plate, growth plate, and end plate into the vertebral body. Most Schmorl’s nodes are asymptomatic, although there are some reports of symptomatic Schmorl’s nodes, which should be treated similarly to vertebral compression fractures, with conservative treatment as the first choice. We report the case that we reduced the pain by blocking the ramus communicans nerve in a patient with Schmorl’s node. (Korean J Pain 2010; 23: 262-265)
