Abstract
Introduction: Celiac trunk (CT) aneurysms are known to be rare; their severity is represented by the risk of rupture which is often lethal. Their diagnosis is becoming easier due to the more common use of imaging means. Objective: Demonstrate the value of angioscanner in the diagnosis of aneurysms and guide the therapeutic management. Case Report: This is a 59-year-old patient with a history of ACFA who has presented for 1 month with diffuse abdominal pain without associated signs. Abdominal angioscanner objectifies a fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the terminal part of the celiac trunk measuring 19 mm in diameter with no detectable signs of rupture or appearance of calcifications or thrombus. Conclusion: Advances in imaging have significantly changed the incidence; angioscanner can help in planning surgical and other clinical interventions.
