low back pain for evaluation and treatment. She had also been evaluated by her internist, neuro-ophthalmologist, oto- laryngologist and another pain physician. Previous work-up included computed tomography (CT) of the chest done in December 2007 and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of her brain in May 2008, which were both negative. She was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and optic migraines and was started on gabapentin. On presentation to the rehabili- tation clinic in December 2008, she complained of ongoing right facial pain and headache in addition to non-radiating low back pain. A thorough history and examination revealed normal reflexes, strength and hip range of motion. Straight leg raising test was negative and lumbar tenderness was not assessed per the patient’s request. There was right-sided ptosis, tenderness over the right temporal artery and fullness of the right eyelid with eye erythema, facial flushing, but no miosis. Blood work, MRI of the lumbo-sacral (L-S) spine and a CT scan of the chest were ordered. Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation clinic. Results: Blood work was normal. MRI of the L-S spine showed a lesion in the left sacrum suspicious for metastasis in addition to severe stenosis. CT of the chest revealed a new right hilar mass suspicious for metastasis and several noncal- cified nodular densities in the lungs bilaterally. Discussion: We propose that this patient had a Pancoast tumor on the right that was compressing the sympathetic chain thus causing her symptomatology. She was referred back to her internist and oncologist for further work-up. Conclusions: The most common factor producing the preganglionic Horner’s syndrome is malignant tumors. It is important to keep this diagnosis in mind when evaluating a patient with a history of cancer who presents with headaches and facial pain.

David Cheng, MD (New York Presbyterian Hospi- tal: The University Hospital of Columbia and Cor- nell, New York, NY); Michael W. O'Dell, MD. Disclosures: D. Cheng, None. Patients or Programs: Patient A: 45-year-old woman, Patient B: 61-year-old man, Patient C: 61-year-old man; with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma and pathologic frac- tures. Program Description: Patient A is a 45-year-old woman with myelomatous disease in axial and appendicular skeleton who developed hip flexor weakness and pathologic fracture of the right humeral head status post humeral nailing. Pain secondary to disease in clavicles and scapula was controlled with lidocaine patch, local radiation, and oxycodone. Patient B is a 61-year-old man who presented with renal failure and pathologic left femoral neck fracture status post hip arthro- plasty. Progress was limited by lethargy that improved after hemodialysis. He developed nausea with chemotherapy, which was relieved with intravenous ondansetron. Patient C is a 61-year-old man who presented with confusion from hypercalcemia and L2-L3 compression fractures for which he declined kyphoplasty. His back pain and fatigue impeded full participation in therapy despite lidocaine and fentanyl patches, oral opioids, and intravenous hydromorphone. He required scheduled ondansetron for nausea. Setting: Tertiary care hospital. Results: Patient A was hospitalized for 9 days with a Func- tional Independence Measure score (FIM) gain from 100 to 106 and discharged to home alone with nursing, home health aide (HHA), and therapies. Patient B was hospitalized for 28 days (FIM score 61 - 84) and discharged to orthopedic service for incisional drainage before going home with ser- vices. Patient C was hospitalized for 15 days (FIM score 78 - 95) and discharged home with family with nursing, HHA, and therapies. Discussion: These 3 cases demonstrate the impact of MM complications and comorbidities on functional recovery. Conclusions: Pain, nausea, and fatigue are potential bar- riers to rehabilitation in multiple myeloma-associated frac- tures. Addressing these impairments early and effectively may improve outcome. Keywords: Rehabilitation, Fracture, Multiple myeloma.

Slatkin, MEDA, Consulting fees or other remuneration; Cephalon, Speakers bureau Objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics for fentanyl across a range of fentanyl buccal soluble film (FBSF) doses (FEN-110) and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FBSF in the management of cancer breakthrough pain (BTP) (FEN- 201). Design: Open-label, 3-period crossover study (FEN-110) and a phase 3 double-blind, multiple crossover study (FEN- 201) Setting: FEN-110 was conducted in a phase I unit. FEN- 201 was conducted at various institutions on an outpatient basis. Participants: FEN-110 enrolled 12 healthy volunteers. Participants in FEN-201 were patients with cancer on stable opioid doses who achieved adequate control of BTP with FBSF (200 1200 g) in an open label titration phase. Interventions: In FEN-110, participants received single doses of FBSF (200, 600, 1200 g) 72 hours apart. In S112 POSTER PRESENTATIONS
