Le bloc paravertébral. [...] Son principe repose sur l'injection d'un agent anesthésique local à proximité des racines des nerfs rachidiens, juste après leur sortie du canal médullaire, lorsque celles-ci se situent au contact des apophyses transverses. Le bloc paravertébral est ainsi réalisable à tous les étages de la colonne vertébrale.
