AB Ultrasound  imaging  of  the  sacrum1,2  and  lumbosacral  (L5–S1)  interlaminar  space3–7  is  frequently  performed  to  identify  the  sonoanatomy  relevant  for  central  neuraxial  blocks,  that  is,  spinal  and  epidural  (lumbar  and  caudal)  injection.1–7  Because  the  lumbosacral  interlaminar  space  and  sacrum  are  relatively  superficial  structures,  they  lend  themselves  well  to  ultrasound  imaging.3–5,7  This  chapter  briefly  outlines  the  anatomy,  technique  of  ultrasound  imaging,  and  sonoanatomy  of  the  sacrum  and  lumbosacral  interlaminar  space  relevant  for  central  neuraxial  blocks.
