Introduction
Celiac artery aneurysms are rare vascular lesions and account for only a
small proportion of all aneurysms (1, 2). Patients are usually
asymptomatic. If symptoms do occur, they are nonspecific and include
vague epigastric pain, back pain, and uncommonly nausea and vomiting. A
worsening abdominal pain usually suggests either a rapidly expanding
aneurysm or rupture, the most devastating complication (4-5, 7).
Diagnosis is usually incidental, as most patients are asymptomatic. CT
and MRI are the imaging modalities of choice. For those who have
surgical indications, preoperative angiography should be performed (1,
5).
