Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment (ACNES) Injection
Indication ACNES
Syringe 10mL
Needle 25G 38mm
Steroid optional 10mg triamcinolone
Local Clinician choice
Volume 10mL


Various authors have described a technique for performing a block for anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment (ACNE) [1][2]

Technique

Ultrasound Guided

  • First locate the point of maximal tenderness using the Carnett Sign
  • Position: Supine
  • Ultrasound Anatomy
    • Transverse plane in the midline at first to identify the rectus abdominis muscle and linea alba (the medial border of the rectus abdominis).
    • Move the transducer laterally to view the lateral border of the rectus abdominis and the linea semilunaris
    • The target abdominal cutaneous nerve normally exits between the rectus abdominis and linea semilunaris.
  • Advance the needle lateral to medial in plane
  • Aspirate to ensure needle not penetrated a blood vessel.
  • Inject local anaesthetic +/- steroid around the nerve

Indications

Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome

Risks

Infection, subcutaneous injection, allergic reaction, intravascular injection ADR from steroids

Aftercare

Advised to keep active within pain limits, and is reassessed about 10 days later. Repeated injections may be performed
