Lesson completed.

At the top left you can see the abdominal organs and the segmental vertebral levels where visceral sensory stimuli (pain) originate from that organ. At the top right is a dermatome card. Click the image to enlarge it. You can use these segmental representations and the dermatomes to answer the question below. Below, marked with letters A to D, are 4 patterns of pain that may occur. Red always indicates visceral pain (deep, in the middle line, not easily localizable, accompanied by autonomic symptoms), and purple 'referred pain' (occurring in dermatomes, often there is also hypersensitivity to light stimuli such as e.g. caressing the skin). Which pain pattern best describes an acute exacerbation of Chron's disease?

The figure shows the pathways by which pain stimuli in the pelvic and perineum area run. You can use this when answering the next question. In what situation could pudendal nerve anesthesia be effective?
