Abstract
Here, we report a case of ultrasound-assisted subarachnoid block in a patient with severe kyphosis. A 69-year-old man was scheduled for metal removal from hip screws. He had a previous experience with subarachnoid block using the landmark-guided technique, but it was very difficult due to severe kyphosis. However, we could easily determine the correct needle insertion point using ultrasound imaging and performed a successful dural puncture on the first attempt. This case demonstrates the clinical usefulness of ultrasound imaging for subarachnoid blocks in patients with severe kyphosis.
