We report a case of a 17-year-old male with Behcet’s disease (BD) with giant celiac artery aneurysm and impending rupture. Over the past 8 weeks, patient began having intermittent back and abdominal pain that worsened and became persistent over the past few days. This was accompanied by anorexia and non-bilious vomiting. Computed tomography angiogram (CTA) demonstrated a wide neck large celiac artery aneurysm (60 mm diameter). Endovascular repair of the aneurysm was performed using stent graft of the aorta and transcatheter coil embolization of the aneurysm sac. Technical success was confirmed by interruption of flow in the aneurysm, and preservation of distal native circulation at the conclusion of the procedure. One-week post-embolization, a CTA demonstrated complete thrombosis of the aneurysm. On follow-up CTA at 3, 6, and 12 months after embolization, the aneurysm has completely thrombosed and decreased in size to 24 mm. Patient remains asymptomatic till date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
