Celiac plexus block: an anatomical study and simulation using computed tomography*
OBJECTIVE To analyze anatomical variations associated with celiac plexus complex by means of computed tomography simulation, assessing the risk for organ injury as the transcrural technique is utilized. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred eight transaxial computed tomography images of abdomen were analyzed. The aortic-vertebral, celiac trunk (CeT)-vertebral, CeT-aortic and celiac-aortic-vertebr...
متن کاملComputed tomography celiac trunk topography relating to celiac plexus block.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The celiac plexus is a dense autonomic network surrounding the celiac trunk. To block this plexus, the celiac trunk is a landmark for needle placement. Needles inserted at a distance from the midline, "walking off" the vertebra, may penetrate surrounding organs. We reviewed 200 computed tomography images to investigate the celiac trunk topography relating to the block....
متن کاملEUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and celiac plexus block.
Pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis commonly produce pain that is difficult to control.1,2 Initial therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) is often inadequate and necessitates opioid administration. Although opioids effectively relieve pain, they are associated with dry mouth, constipation, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, delirium, and may impair immune function.3,4 In ...
متن کاملComputed Tomography (CT) Simulated Fluoroscopy-Guided Transdiscal Approach in Transcrural Celiac Plexus Block
Conventional transcrural CPB via the "walking off" the vertebra technique may injure vital organs while attempting to proximally spread injectate around the celiac plexus. Therefore, we attempted the CT-simulated fluoroscopy-guided transdiscal approach to carry out transcrural CPB in a safer manner, spreading the injectate more completely and closely within the celiac plexus area. A 54-year-old...
متن کاملPercutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block.
Percutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block (PNCPB) is an excellent treatment option for patients with intractable abdominal pain due to upper abdominal malignancies or chronic pancreatitis. In these patients, chronic refractory pain significantly decreases quality of life and often requires high doses of narcotics, which can lead to serious adverse side effects. PNCPB has been shown to have lo...
