| Summary: | Spontaneous dissection of visceral arteries is a quite rare event. Sudden abdominal pain in the epigastrium is the most frequent symptom. Advances in imaging techniques have made it easier to establish the diagnosis of this event, increasing the incidence of dissections of visceral arteries. Conservative medical treatment, surgical revascularization, and endovascular therapy are the three treatment options available. We report two cases of patients with spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk that received different treatments based on clinical presentation and imaging studies. We also conducted a literature review on this disease. |
