title: [Two Cases of Caudal Alcohol Block for Perineal Pain that Occurred in Cancer End-of-Life].
abstract: We experienced two cases of end-of-life cancer patients with perineal pain, whose pain was relieved by 5 ml absolute ethanol caudal block. Although the first injection was ineffective, the second injection resulted in significant relief of pain in both cases. Although the indication should be carefully considered, alcohol caudal block is an analgesic method worth considering for the end-of-life cancer patients complaining of perineal pain.
