Abstract
Mesenteric ischemia is one of the most mortal diseases of the gastrointestinal system causing acute abdomen. In most of the patients, the etiological factor is the obstructive embolism or thrombosis of superior mesenteric artery. In the literature, there have been reports regarding also celiac trunk occlusion in rare situations. The gold standard treatment relies on early diagnosis. The originality of our report relies on the concurrent obstruction of both vascular structures.

While stenosis of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or celiac trunk (CT) is more than 50% in asymptomatic individuals, the rate is 27% in patients after performing arteriography [4]
Summary
Mesenteric ischemia accounts for 2% of cases with gastrointestinal diseases causing acute abdomen [1]. It is rare, mortality rates of acute mesenteric ischemia can reach up to 40–70% [2]. In 70–80% of the patients, the etiological factor is the obstructive embolism or thrombosis of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) [2]. There have been reports regarding celiac trunk (CT) occlusion in rare situations. The originality of our report relies on the concurrent obstruction of both vascular structures.
