Abstract :
Dyspepsia with mild, stabbing epigastric discomfort without history of trauma is a very common symptom that emergency
physicians see in their daily practice. Vascular emergencies, mostly the aortic dissection and aneurysm, are always
described in the differential diagnosis with persistent symptoms. Isolated celiac artery dissection occurring spontaneously
is a very rare diagnosis. The involvement of branch vessels is generally observed and patients show various
clinical signs and symptoms according to the involved branch vessel. Here we are presenting a case with spontaneous
isolated celiac artery dissection, without any branch vessel involvement or visceral damage, detected by computed tomography
scans taken on admission
