Abstract
We describe six cases of head and neck or upper limb cancer palliative care patients with refractory pain, treated with an intrathecal catheter placed at cervical or upper thoracic spinal levels with a non-implanted, externalized and tunnelled delivery system. In these cases, this system was safe and effective.
