Unusual Cause of Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage: Spontaneous Dissection of the Celiac Trunk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoscopy revealed pulsatile submucosal arterial vascular collaterals with nipple sign in stomach [Figure 1]. There was a small amount of fresh blood in stomach, but no active bleeding. He was treated conservatively and remained asymptomatic in follow‐up. Abdominal‐enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed dissection of the celiac trunk and enhancement perigastric and gastric intramural vascular collaterals due to chronic ischemia caused by celiac artery dissection [Figure 1].

Isolated spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is rarely diagnosed in acute abdominal pain. We present two cases of celiac trunk and splenic artery dissection with splenic infarction. Patients were successfully managed and stabilized by medical treatment. Isolated celiac trunk dissection can be fatal, therefore providers should be careful not to overlook this entity.

Arterial dissection is defined as cleavage of the arterial wall by an intramural hematoma between two elastic layers. Aortic dissection has been widely reported and recognized. However, isolated spontaneous visceral artery dissection without aortic dissection has been reported rarely because of nonspecific symptoms and signs, which is usually diagnosed after fatal hemorrhage or ischemia [1].

Haemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a rare life-threatening cause of intermittent upper Gastrointestinal bleeding. We report the first documented case of HP due to bleeding from aberrant vessels originating from the coeliac trunk feeding the head of the pancreas. Our patient underwent initial surgery and subsequent angio-embolization. This case report describes the challenges faced during the diag...
