Celiac Artery Aneurysm- A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Aneurysm of the celiac artery is an uncommon clinical problem; fewer than 180 cases have been reported in the world medical literature. Although the rate of rupture was 72% to 87% during the 1st half of the 20th century,1 advances in diagnostic imaging and early surgical intervention have reduced the rupture rate to 7% in recent years.2 Most celiac aneurysms are asymptomatic or present with vague epigastric pain prior to rupture, preoperative diagnosis is infrequent and is usually made incidentally during unrelated surgery or angiography. Early recognition and intervention are crucial, because the operative mortality rate associated with ruptured celiac artery aneurysms is 40% compared with only 5% for non-ruptured aneurysms.We present the case of a 56-year-old woman who had an asymptomatic celiac artery aneurysm detected by ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography.
