Abstract
Cervical interlaminar epidural (CIE) block was first described by Dogliotti in 1933. It has demonstrated to be of benefit in managing chronic radicular pain at this level secondary to a number of pathologies including disc herniation. It should be reserved for the experienced interventionist, as the complications can be devastating and permanent. Patients should be carefully selected and provided with informed consent with respect to proposed advantages and potential adverse effects and complications.
