Spontaneous Isolated Celiac and Superior Mesenteric Artery Dissection: Case Report with Literature Review

Spontaneous isolated splanchnic artery dissection is uncommon with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) being the most commonly dissection-affected artery. Spontaneous celiac artery dissection is rare, but underestimation is anticipated due to variable clinical manifestations. Only 11% of celiac artery dissections are associated with SMA dissections. Spontaneous isolated splanchnic artery dissection has been sporadically but increasingly reported, however, the clinical features and management strategies were different case by case. In order to obtain an optimal therapeutic effect, a consensus in decision-making of the dissection management is necessary. This article reports a particular case of spontaneous isolated celiac and SMA dissection, outstanding the importance of conservertive treatment in the patients with stable hemodynamics and good responses to the therapy.
