Spontaneous isolated dissection of the celiac artery: CT findings in adults.
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.


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