Abstract
Aneurysm of celiac artery is an uncommon occurrence with nearly 180 cases being reported in the literature so far [1]. These have been attributed to traumatic, iatrogenic and inflammatory being amongst few associated etiological factors. Spontaneous isolated dissecting aneurysm of celiac trunk is a rare occurrence with very few cases being mentioned in the published literature. Although the rate of rupture was 72% to 87% during the 1st half of the 20th century, advances in diagnostic imaging and early surgical intervention have reduced the rupture rate to 7% in recent years [1]. Early recognition and urgent intervention is required to prevent fatal complications like intraperitoneal rupture. Authors present a case of isolated spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of distal celiac artery in a fifty five year old male patient with alcoholic cirrhosis.
