A case of a 10 year old boy who underwent a T10 continuous thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) using a standard technique for postoperative pain management is reported. In the postoperative recovery area, 10 mL of Omnipaque contrast dye was injected through the catheter and an anteroposterior chest radiograph was performed. The radiograph showed longitudinal spread of contrast parallel to the spine from the T4-T5 intervertebral disc to the T10-T11 intervertebral disc with clear lateral extension of contrast along the fifth through the tenth intercostal nerves.
