[Congenital superior mesenteric arteriovenous malformations]
Journal De Chirurgie
|October 1, 1985
Abstract:
An arteriovenous aneurysm in the region supplied by the superior mesenteric artery was detected fortuitously during abdominal arteriography. The absence of a previous history of injury or operation suggested a congenital origin for this infrequently observed lesion. Logical therapy whenever possible is resection of mesentery and the neighbouring intestine.
Insights
A rare congenital arteriovenous aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery was found incidentally. Surgical resection of the affected mesentery and intestine is the recommended treatment for this vascular lesion.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- Arteriovenous aneurysms are uncommon vascular malformations.
- Superior mesenteric artery aneurysms are rare, with congenital origin being infrequent.
- Incidental detection during diagnostic imaging is possible.
