    AbstractThe International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS) is based on the age of patients and preoperative imaging, with attention paid to whether the primary tumor is affected by one or more of specific image-defined risk factors (IDRFs). This publication presents a 2.5-year-old boy with neuroblastoma who had an accidental ligation of the celiac trunk during tumor resection. The consequences of this complication were pancreatic and spleen ischemia and necrosis, ischemia, and perforation of the common bile duct, gallbladder, stomach, and duodenum. The aim of this publication was to highlight the great role of the radiologist in determining the indications for neuroblastoma tumor removal, especially with current vascular IDRFs, and to show how the radiologist's insightful approach can save the patient from irreversible complications.
