Abstract
- Splanchnic nerve block with neurolytics has been used to control the upper abdominal cancer pain. This gastric cancer case with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complained of upper abdominal pain, severe dyspnea and orthopnea. He maintained a sitting position most of the time with nasal oxygen inhalation because he could not remain in a supine or prone position. We performed the unilateral splanchnic nerve alcohol block under right lateral position at the T12 and Ll vertebral level. For a short time after the block, he required oxygen inhalation therapy, Three months after unilateral alcohol block, he is still alive without severe abdominal pain and severe dyspnea.
