Abstract
Aneurysms of the visceral arteries are uncommon and represent 0.1 to 0.2% of all vessel aneurysms. With only 2% of all visceral arterial aneurysms, aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries are a rarity. False aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries are the result of pancreatitis or trauma, whereas atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia and connective tissue disorders are the main causes of true aneurysms. Aneurysm of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery associated with occlusion of the celiac artery is a rare event, but the risk of rupture and the high mortality rate seen in this setting require early diagnosis and prompt management. An accurate diagnosis of this uncommon condition can be easily and reliably made by multidetector computed tomographic angiography.Multidetector computed tomographic angiography enables high quality three-dimensional reconstructed images and allows noninvasive determination of the exact location and the size of the aneurysm. In this report, we present multidetector computed tomographic angiography findings of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with celiac artery occlusion.
