Abstract
- Celiac artery aneurysms are extremely rare. Among the numerous conditions that can lead to a celiac artery aneurysm, acute or chronic pancreatitis has been described as one of the less common causes. A 54-year-old alcoholic man with a 7-year history of recurrent pancreatitis and iron deficiency anemia presented with a 15-day history of gastrointestinal bleeding. The contrast-enhanced axial CT scan and abdominal arteriography demonstrated that a 3-cm sized aneurysm had developed on the celiac artery and there were multiple calcified densities in the pancreas; these findings were suggestive of a diagnosis of celiac artery aneurysm with gastrointestinal bleeding that was caused by chronic pancreatitis. Aneurysmectomy without revascularization was performed successfully. We report here on a rare case of celiac artery aneurysm that was caused by chronic pancreatitis.
