Celiac neurolysis is an effective adjunct for managing refractory pancreatic cancer pain. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) offers several potential technical advantages over the traditional percutaneous technique [1]. We report the first case of paraplegia following EUS celiac neurolysis. A 76-year-old man underwent EUS celiac neurolysis for refractory pain secondary to unresectable pancreatic cance...

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...
متن کاملAlleviating Pancreatic Cancer-Associated Pain Using Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Neurolysis
The most common symptom in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer is abdominal pain. This has traditionally been treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioid analgesics. However, these treatments result in inadequate pain control or drug-related adverse effects in some patients. An alternative pain-relief modality is celiac plexus neurolysis, in which the celiac plexus is chem...
