title: Rupture prone aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery complicated by mid aortic syndrome with occluded celiac and superior mesenteric arteries.
abstract: We present the case of a 45-year-old male patient with a large aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery complicated by mid aortic syndrome with occlusion of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. The vascular pathology was detected by CT imaging after presentation and hospitalization with symptoms of acute cholecystitis. After resolve of the acute symptoms, the aneurysm was resected and the proximal inferior mesenteric artery interponated with a reversed saphenous vein bypass graft. Besides presenting this case we review the literature concerning the rare descriptions of inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms.
