• Celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN)/celiac plexus block (CPB) is used to treat excruciating cancerrelated abdominal pain.1 • CPN is done via injecting 50%–100% alcohol into the celiac plexus, which is located under the diaphragm at the level of T12-L1 adjacent to the abdominal aorta and the take-off of the celiac trunk.2 • Endoscopic ultrasound guided neurolysis (EUS CPN) has been found to have 85...

A study on leprous neuritis, involving the ulnar nerve, was carried out on 39 patients. The evaluation of nerve function was done before and after treatment by a score chart. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A (21 patients) was subjected to neurolysis only, and group B (18 patients) were given the combined treatment of neurolysis and perineural corticosteroid injection at the same t...

PURPOSE Assessment of radiologist's hand dose in CT-guided interventions and determination of influencing factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The following CT-guided interventions were included: Core biopsy, drainage, periradicular therapy, and celiac plexus neurolysis. The hand dose was measured with an immediately readable dosimeter, the EDD-30 (Unfors, Sweden). The default parameters for CT flu...

Meralgia paresthetica is an entrapment mononeuropathy of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which results in localized area of paresthesia and numbness on the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. We describe the use of alcohol neurolysis of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in a 74-year-old female who presented with paresthesia over antero-lateral aspect of her left thigh, which was consistent with m...

OBJECTIVE Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a syndrome of pain and/or dysesthesia in the anterolateral thigh that is caused by an entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) at its pelvic exit. Despite early accounts of MP, there is still no consensus concerning the effectiveness of neurolysis or transaction treatments in the long-term relief for medically refractory patients with MP. ...

Introduction. Celiac plexus neurolysis is used in pain management of patients with advanced and unresectable pancreatic cancer. We retrospectively analyzed efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound- (EUS-) guided celiac plexus neurolysis in patients treated in our unit. Methods. Twenty nine subjects with unresectable pancreatic cancer and severe pain despite pharmacological treatment underwe...

BACKGROUND Despite proven benefits of upper extremity nerve decompression in diabetics, neurolysis for diabetic patients with lower extremity (LE) nerve compression remains controversial. METHODS A search of ClinicalTrials.gov and Cochrane clinical trials registries, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar from 1962 to 2012, yielded 1956 cit...
