Paraplegia following coeliac plexus block with phenol. Case report
Abstract
Paraplegia complicating a block of the coeliac plexus with 6% aqueous phenol for carcinoma of the pancreas is described. The patient had no previous neurological abnormality and it is postulated that vascular ischaemia of the spinal cord was responsible for the sequence of neurological events.
