Abstract
Intractable pain from chronic pancreatitis is commonly challenging to manage medically. Due to debilitating abdominal pain, quality of life of patients is usually poor. These patients require high doses of strong opioids and even surgical intervention. This paper reports the safe performance of fluoroscopy-guided retrocrural celiac plexus block in a 26-year-old male with chronic pancreatitis. This treatment modality spared him from undergoing total pancreatectomy and the subsequent need for postoperative lifetime insulin and enzyme replacement therapy.
