Abstract:
Inflammatory superior mesenteric artery aneurysm is an extremely rare but life-threatening condition that can result in fatal rupture. Early surgery has been emphasized to prevent aneurysm rupture. We present a case that was successfully managed with conservative treatment. The patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by oral prednisolone. Steroid therapy should be considered for unruptured inflammatory superior mesenteric artery aneurysms before surgery.
