Stellate ganglion block improved bronchial asthma in a patient with sudden deafness

Abstract

Although sympathetic blockade by stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a good indication for the treatment of sudden deafness, this therapy is still controversial for patients with bronchial asthma. We report a case of a patient suffering from sudden deafness with a complication of bronchial asthma who was successfully treated with repeated SGB.
