AbstractMany sub-Saharan African countries have recently acquired computed tomography scanners that make interventional radiology possible, especially for the treatment of cancer pain. We report the case of a patient with severe abdominal pain related to advanced pancreas cancer. After unsuccessful morphine treatment, he underwent CT-guided alcohol injection for neurolysis of the celiac plexus and splanchnic nerves. This report describes the technique and discusses its potential applications in tropical countries.
