A large inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm was reported, emphasizing preoperative arteriography. Anomalous gastrointestinal arterial supply from the dilated artery may have contributed to aneurysm development due to other artery occlusions.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Radiology
  • Abdominal Aneurysm Research

Background:

  • Inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) aneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular conditions.
  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis and anatomical assessment are crucial for managing complex vascular pathologies.

Observation:

  • A case of a very large inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm is presented.
  • An unusual arterial supply to the gastrointestinal tract originating from a dilated IMA was observed.

Findings:

  • The aneurysm's significant size underscores the need for thorough patient work-up.
  • Occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and celiac axis, coupled with anomalous IMA supply, is hypothesized to be a contributing factor to aneurysm formation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the critical role of preoperative arteriography in identifying complex arterial anatomy and planning surgical interventions.
  • Understanding anomalous vascular supply is essential for preventing complications in patients with mesenteric artery aneurysms.
