		Celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a chemical splanchnicectomy of the celiac plexus; its goal is to ablate the efferent nerve fibres which transmit pain from the intra-abdominal viscera.
		As previously emphasized, the celiac plexus is not identified as a discrete structure but is located based on its position relative to the celiac trunk.
		Once the origin of the celiac trunk is located from the sub-cardiac position, the needle (whichever used) is passed through and fixed to the celiac trunk by a luer-lock.

		At operation, the celiac trunk was seen to be compressed by the median arcuate ligament and this ligament was divided.
		Compression and stenosis of the celiac trunk by this ligament is a well recognised angiographic and surgical finding, characterised by stenosis of the proximal celiac trunk by compression of fibrous bands, poststenotic dilatation of the distal part of the celiac axis and formation of the collaterals ( 1 - 3).
		Celiac artery lesions are at least twice as common as obstruction of either the superior or inferior mesenteric arteries.

	Aorta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most common arrangement is for the aorta to give off the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery in turn.
		The renal arteries usually branch from the abdominal aorta in between the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery.
		The aorta terminates by dividing into two branches, the left and right common iliac arteries that branch to supply blood to the lower limbs and the pelvis.

		The Celiac trunk is a very short artery, arising just distal to the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm, soon dividing into three further arteries:
		These arteries are responsible for supplying the oesophagus, stomach, the duodenum (proximal to the bile duct), the liver, the gall bladder and associated apparatus as well as the pancreas.
		It passes inferiorly and to the left of the aorta and supplies the distal part of the digestive system and the rectum.

		The celiac ganglia are large clusters of nerve fibers which are related to the sympathetic nervous system.
		Nerves extend from the sympathetic trunk to the celiac ganglia and from there to the stomach, gall bladder, bile ducts, adrenal glands, and further to the inferior and superior mesenteric ganglia, which innervate the intestines.

		The celiac trunk may be absent (0.4%, Poynter); the branches usually arising from it then arise from the aorta.
		One of the usual branches of the celiac artery may be absent, and may be replaced by a stem common to the inferior phrenics, by the right middle suprarenal and the right gastroepiploic, or more rarely by some other branch.
		A branch of the celiac trunk may pass through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm to supply the lower medial quarter of the right lung.

		Electromyography (nerve conduction) studies were normal or slightly abnormal in 18 of the patients and sural nerve biopsies that were examined in three of the patients revealed moderate to severe axonopathies.
		Thirteen of the patients tested positive for ganglioside antibodies using the agglutination assay, and celiac disease was seen in five percent of all neuropathy patients, and in 20 percent of patients who were seen at the institution for neuropathy with normal electrophysiolgoic studies.
		Based on these results and the fact that 10 percent of patients with celiac disease exhibit associated neurological disease, usually in the form of peripheral neuropathy or ataxia, Dr. Chin recommends that all patients with neuropathy of unknown origin should be screened for celiac disease, even if they have no gastrointestinal symptoms.

		However, selection of the celiac trunk proved very difficult, so anteroposterior and lateral aortograms were performed, demonstrating a common origin of the celiac trunk and SMA.
		Discussion: Normally, the first major branch of the abdominal aorta is the celiac trunk which arises from the ventral surface of the aorta at the level of T12 or L1.
		Classically, the celiac trunk trifurcates with the splenic, common hepatic, and left gastric arteries; however, multiple anatomic variants exist, particularly involving the hepatic arteries.

		The blood supply to the duodenum comes from the superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, branches of the celiac artery, and the inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, which are branches of the superior mesenteric arteries.
		It is also the largest branch of the celiac trunk due to the high amount of blood flow to the speen.
		This artery is also a branch of the celiac trunk and it supplies the liver as well as the stomach and duodenum.

		The classic branching pattern of the celiac trunk (in 65-75% individuals) is the left gastric, common hepatic, and splenic arteries.
		Radiologic evidence of celiac stenosis, whether due to a congenital absence, atherosclerosis or compression by the median arcuate ligament, is not always associated with mesenteric ischemia.
		Celiac stenosis can also cause pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms because of the increased flow through the collateral circulation.

		Unless significant stenoses or actual occlusion of 2 of the 3 vessels is present, efficient collateral circulation between the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries (ie, the pancreaticoduodenal arcades) and the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries (ie, the meandering mesenteric artery) ensures that blood flow to the gut generally is adequate.
		Median arcuate ligament syndrome is thought to be a syndrome of abdominal pain caused by compression of the celiac trunk by the median arcuate ligament and, perhaps, by dense encasement by periarterial neural tissue.
		Typically, the proximal trunk of a small-caliber bifurcated prosthetic graft is anastomosed to the supraceliac aorta, and the distal limbs are sewn to the celiac artery and the SMA, just beyond the stenotic segments (see Image 6, Image 7, Image 8).
