[Isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery].
Isolated spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery is uncommon. We report a case complicated by arterial rupture and discuss diagnostic imaging work-up. Diagnosis is usually made by conventional arteriography. But, dissection can also be diagnosed noninvasively by computed tomography angiography and ultrasound.
