IMPLICATIONS: In this case report, we describe a patient who received perioperative analgesia with continuous nerve block for shoulder disarticulation, performed as a last option for management of intractable pain. As the result of anatomic considerations, a continuous cervical paravertebral block (posterior approach to the interscalene space) was performed.
