Hemorrhagic Gastritis and Duodenitis Following Celiac Plexus Neurolysis
Pain Physician, 11/25/09

Pello S et al. – Neurolytic celiac plexus block is a well established intervention to palliate pain, and it potentially improves quality of life in patients suffering from an upper abdominal malignancy, specifically pancreatic cancer...The authors report a case of a patient with known history of gastritis and duodenitis, who developed severe upper GI bleeding immediately following the celiac plexus neurolysis. There are no published reports documenting similar cases. It is difficult to offer a precise physiologic explanation for this complication. However, the authors speculate that inhibition of sympathetic tone from the celiac plexus neurolysis caused increased blood flow to the GI system, and this resulted in active bleeding from previously indolent hemorrhagic gastritis and duodenitis.
