Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to describe the CT features of spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection in a series of six otherwise healthy patients with acute abdominal pain.

CONCLUSION: Although once believed rare, isolated spontaneous celiac artery dissection should be considered in the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, especially in middle-aged adults.
