Paravertebral by proxy
•Injection posterior to the SCTL
•T2 to T7 bilaterally
•5 ml of methylene blue T2
•Sympathetic chain (T1–T7 on the left, and T4–T8 on the right)
•Intercostal nerves T1–T7
•Nerve roots in the paravertebral spaces, bilaterally.
Paravertebral space is not a true anatomical compartment
and that the SCTL is not a barrier to diffusion of injectate as
previously thought.

Retro-SCTL space = Target of ITPB

22. 22
ITPB = Retro SCTL space injection
The retro-SCTL space, used as a target point for the ITP
block, has potential anatomical pathways to the TPVS.
The CTF and CTS appeared to create the anatomical
conduit for injectate spread anteriorly and
intersegmentallyfrom the retro-SCTL space to the TPVS.
