Percutaneous cordotomy is a useful method for cancer pain management. Candidates for cervical cordotomy include those patients with unilateral cancer pain below the shoulder, with a life expectancy of less than 1 year, who can not be adequately treated by other less invasive methods. However, various complications can occur following a cordotomy, with the most serious being respiratory dysfunction. Herein, we report a case of transient respiratory dysfunction following a percutaneous cervical cordotomy.
