Abstract
Celiacomesentric trunk (CMT) is a rare vascular anomaly with a common origin for the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection in patients with CMT. Here, we discuss a case of a 65-year-old male with acute-onset epigastric pain who was found to have SMA dissection with CMT. He was treated conservatively with symptomatic improvement. Diagnostic imaging studies include computed tomography (CT) scanning of the abdomen with or without contrast and CT angiography. Management options include a conservative approach, endovascular repair, and surgical management based on the classification/location of the dissection.
