Poster Abstract
Celiac artery aneurysm is a very rare vascular lesion accounting for only 5.1% of all splanchnic artery aneurysms. Etiology for celiac artery aneurysm includes, but not limited to, infectious diseases, atherosclerosis, trauma, congenital conditions such as median arcuate ligament syndrome and iatrogenic causes.
Etiology for abdominal pain is extensive. Patients should be evaluated for both intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal causes for pain, as presentations of a different pathophysiology vary widely. CT scan has become a mainstay part of the work for abdominal pain in the Emergency department, and often elicit pathologies that would otherwise be missed on blood work and other imaging modalities. Although rare, celiac artery aneurysm carries a high mortality rate if ruptured and therefore surgical repair is definitive care plan. Surgical repair maybe either via endovascular approach or via open surgical repair of the aneurysm preferably via prosthetic grafts.
