摘要：

Because of the encouraging results of uncontrolled reports, cervical transforaminal injection of steroids is being used to treat patients with cervical radicular pain who do not have improvement with conservative therapy. There is a need for better data on both efficacy and safety because this treatment carries a risk of serious complications, including spinal cord injury. Critical to the safety of this technique is an understanding of the anatomy coupled with disciplined and accurate use of imaging.
