Description
Summary:This observational study describes the procedure technique, safety outcomes, and patient responses to celiac plexus blockade (CPB) in children with severe neurodisability with refractory feed intolerance, feed induced pain or feed induced dystonia (FID). A review of the pathophysiological response to feeding in children with significant neurodisability and the effect on the neuroenteric system. A 2-stage CT-guided temporary celiac plexus blockade followed by neurolysis technique is described. We compile a case series of 5 patients with life limiting conditions and significant disability undergoing CPB in a single tertiary pediatric hospital. A total of 10 separate procedures in 5 children were completed. A positive outcome was observed in 3 out of 4 cases of pediatric FID. Two of the three patients on parenteral nutrition had improved feed tolerance postprocedure. All children tolerated the procedure well, no postprocedure complications were documented. In selected cases, children with life-threatening feed induced dystonia or effective intestinal failure can be safely treated with celiac plexus blockade when other therapies have failed.
