Spontaneous celiac artery dissection is rare, often asymptomatic, and typically diagnosed incidentally. This case highlights imaging and management strategies for this uncommon vascular event.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Spontaneous visceral artery dissection is uncommon with variable outcomes.
- Superior mesenteric artery is most frequently affected; celiac artery dissection is rare.
- Predisposing factors include vascular disease, hypertension, and pregnancy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a case of spontaneous celiac artery dissection.
- To review current literature on imaging findings.
- To discuss management strategies for celiac artery dissection.
Main Methods:
- Case report of a 65-year-old male.
- Literature review of spontaneous celiac artery dissection.
- Analysis of imaging findings and treatment outcomes.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with spontaneous celiac artery dissection.
- Literature review identified limited cases of isolated celiac artery dissection.
- Discussion of diagnostic imaging modalities and therapeutic options.
Conclusions:
- Spontaneous celiac artery dissection requires careful diagnostic evaluation.
- Management strategies should be individualized based on clinical presentation and imaging.
- Further research is needed to elucidate optimal treatment pathways.
