title: [Diffusion of contrast media in relation to different techniques of celiac plexus block].
abstract: The aim of this work was to evaluate--reviewing CT images--the spread of contrast medium injected following the different techniques of coeliac plexus block. We point out that the spread of c.m. is often difficult and not homogeneous at the level of coeliac plexus, due to tumoral masses invading this area.
