“…A physical examination is usually not helpful for diagnosis. In cases where the aneurysm has expanded to a large size, it may present as a palpable mass in thin individuals [ 28 ], albeit this is uncommon. Laboratory studies are generally non-specific.…”

Persistence of Abdominal Pain: Did You Check for Mesenteric Vessels?

et al. 2023

The incidence of abnormalities regarding the celiac-mesenteric trunk (CMT) has been reported to be between 1% and 2.7%, whereas for visceral aneurysms the incidence is between 0.1% and 0.2% of the general population. Anatomical variations in the CMT may be the result of abnormal embryogenesis of the primitive segmental splanchnic arteries that supply the bowel and several abdominal organs. The clinical presentation may range from vague abdominal symptoms to aneurysm rupture with a significant mortality risk. In this case, we describe the clinical history of a 37-year-old man with postprandial abdominal pain likely related to the celiac-mesenteric trunk enlargement, associated with high resistance flow in the proximal site. Postprandial symptoms improved by avoiding large meals and surveillance for the CMT anomalies was recommended by cross-imaging including the echo-color-Doppler to assess blood flow modification.
