Abstract:
Aneurysms of coeliac artery are extremely rare and account for less than 4% of all splanchnic aneurysms. The detection of such aneurysms, which are often asymptomatic, is mostly occasional. Approximately 15% to 20% of the cases may get complicated by rupture with a mortality rate of around 80%. A reported case of a 55 year old male, who presented with pain and palpable mass in left upper abdomen was diagnosed to have coeliac artery aneurysm. Diagnosis was made on CT scan with selective visceral angiography. Simple ligation with partial excision of the coeliac artery aneurysm was performed.
