Spontaneous recovery of vasculopathic abducens nerve palsies was common at 3\u20136 months. But recovery time was longer when many risk factors were present. Several patients had residual esotropia or abduction deficit. Cervical sympathetic block has an established use in treating patients with disorders related to cranial circulatory insufficiency. It causes a significant increase in cerebral blood flow. We report a case of a 67-year-old man with acute horizontal diplopia and right periocular pain. He had been diagnosed with right abducens nerve palsy caused by microvascular ischemia. We performed ultrasound-guided superior cervical sympathetic ganglion blocks. After 4 weeks, the symptoms had been completely resolved. We introduce ultrasound-guided superior cervical sympathetic ganglion blocks for management of abducens nerve palsy caused by microvascular ischemia, which could be an effective novel method to promote recovery from diplopia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/sjpain-2019-0096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,21]],"date-time":"2019-09-21T05:19:36Z","timestamp":1569043176000},"page":"211-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Superior cervical sympathetic ganglion block under ultrasound guidance promotes recovery of abducens nerve palsy caused by microvascular ischemia"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Sungho","family":"Moon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine , Inje University Busan Paik Hospital , Busan , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Myoungjin","family":"Ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine , Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital , Busan , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sehun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine , Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital , Busan , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyojoong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine , Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital , Busan , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daeseok","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine , Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital , 875, Haeun-daero , Haeundae-gu, Busan , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025120910031658793_j_sjpain-2019-0096_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Park UC, Kim SJ, Hwang JM, Yu YS.
