Abstract

Background: Celiac ganglia play a major role in pain management of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Celiac ganglia/plexus block is used in the management of chronic upper abdominal pain. Inconsistent result of the block may be due to the variation in the vertebral level of the celiac ganglion. The study was conducted with aim of finding the vertebral level of the ganglion in order to establish a predictable pattern for the neurolysis of celiac ganglion and plexus.


Keywords : Celiac ganglion; Celiac artery; Superior mesenteric artery; Thoracic vertebra.
