The authors achieved the "in vivo" identification of the coeliac ganglia (C. G.), using computerised tomography (CT). This result was confirmed by autopsies and by CT scans of an anatomical specimen in which the coeliac ganglia had been previously marked. CT allows an exact location of the coeliac ganglia and can be very useful for a precise alcoholic neurolysis of the coeliac plexus.
