Cervical selective radiculography and nerve root block were carried out on 15 cases with cervical radicular symptoms from 1987 to 1989.
Six of 15 cases were of cervical disc herniation and nine were of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. The mean follow-up was 14 months. The clinical results of nerve root block were excellent in 2 cases, good in 8 cases, fair in 5 cases and there were no poor cases.
Selective radiculography and block were usefull to decide the level of cervical radicular lesion. Nerve root block was useful as a conservative treatment for cervical radiculopathy.
