Percutaneous cervical cordotomy for managing refractory pain in a patient with a Pancoast tumor: A case report

Figure 5 Spinal needle crossing the midline. The spinal needle appears to have crossed the midline (asterisk) and near the contralateral lamina. However, the patient did not complain of any discomfort. We presumed that the needle may have pushed the spinal cord, instead of being stabbed, when we were advancing the needle. Therefore, the path of the spinal needle should be adjusted after going backward.
