Introduction:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The costoclavicular brachial plexus block was explained as an alternative approach to the infraclavicular block. The compact organization of the plexus at this level, clustered lateral to the 1st<\/sup> part of the axillary artery and more superficial than in sagittal approach allows blockade with less volume and a single needle. Hence, it is called spinal anaesthesia of upper limb.<\/p>\n

Anatomy:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Costoclavicular space lies deep and posterior to the mid point of clavicle.<\/p>\n

Boundaries:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Anteriorly \u2013 subclavius muscle and clavicular head of pectoralis major muscle
\nPosteriorly – anterior chest wall<\/p>\n

It is continuous cranially with supraclavicular fossa and caudally with medial infraclavicular fossa. In contrast to lateral infraclavicular fossa, the cords are relatively superficial, clustered together, exhibit a triangular arrangement, and share a consistent relationship with one another.<\/p>\n
