Abstract
The present case of acute and severe pneumothorax during celiac plexus block appears to be an extremely rare occurrence. In this case, the rudimentary 12th rib in addition to the sacralization of the 5th lumber vertebra are the most likely causes of the inadvertent misplacement of the needle.
