Case Reports[A case of intractable chronic abdominal pain caused by hepatomegaly associated with primary amyloidosis, successfully treated with celiac plexus block].
A 51-year-old female previously diagnosed as primary amyloidosis suffered from recurrent abdominal pain. The result of thorough examination indicated that the main cause of the pain was severe hepatomegaly. ⋯ Though the procedure of celiac plexus block is simple and celiac plexus block is applicable without causing severe complication, it is not widely used. From this case, it is considered that celiac plexus block is one of the most effective means to relieve intractable pain associated with both benign malady and abdominal malignant tumor.

Case Reports[Treatment by danaparoid sodium for portal venous thrombosis].
We report a case of hepatitis B type liver cirrhosis with portal venous thrombosis in which danaparoid sodium was very effective. The portal venous thrombosis in this case disappeared 2 weeks commencing after administration of danaparoid sodium. ⋯ We consider that danaparoid sodium is an anticoagulant unlikely to cause adverse effects such as hemorrhage, and that it might be effective for treatment of portal venous thrombosis. We intend to examine the indications of treatment with danaparoid sodium, clarify the best administration method, and establishment of maintenance therapy by investigating more cases.
