Spontaneous Isolated Visceral Artery Dissection in a Middle Aged Male
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epigastric pain is a common complaint made by patients being evaluated in the emergency department. Spontaneous isolated visceral artery dissection is a rare cause with no reported prevalence. We present a case of a 37-year-old male evaluated in the emergency department for epigastric pain and subsequently diagnosed with a spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection with involvement of the hepatic and splenic arteries. Recent case series suggest this disease may be managed medically in most cases. Surgical intervention may be considered for significant bleeding or signs of intestinal ischemia.

متن کاملIsolated Spontaneous Dissection of the Celiac Artery with Aneurysm Formation
An isolated spontaneous dissection of the visceral arteries is rare in the absence of a concurrent dissection of the aorta, iatrogenic injury from instrumentation, or trauma. Spontaneous dissection of a visceral artery, including the superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery, and the celiac artery (CA) without aortic dissection, is an uncommon occurrence. The isolated CA dissection...
