AB Thoracic  paravertebral  block  (TPVB)  is  the  technique  of  injecting  local  anesthetic  alongside  the  thoracic  vertebra  close  to  where  the  spinal  nerves  emerge  from  the  intervertebral  foramen.1,2  This  produces  unilateral,  segmental,  somatic,  and  sympathetic  nerve  blockade,3  which  is  effective  for  anesthesia  and  in  treating  acute  and  chronic  pain  of  unilateral  origin  from  the  chest  and  abdomen.1  Hugo  Sellheim  of  Leipzig  (1871–1936)  is  believed  to  have  pioneered  TPVB  in  1905.1,2  Kappis,  in  1919,  developed  the  technique  of  paravertebral  injection,  which  is  comparable  to  the  one  in  present  day  use.
