Abstract
Celiac plexus block (CPB) or celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a common palliative treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. We describe a case of a patient with advanced pancreatic cancer who had undergone two separate CPB procedures who subsequently developed acute cholecystitis. The unusual nature of this case presentation is highlighted by the relative benign presentation of the patient including an absent Murphy’s sign and normal liver function serum profile. This case highlights the complexity of pain in advanced pancreatic cancer in those patients who have received CPB and develop acute gastrointestinal emergencies.
