“…Basically, the occurrence of atherosclerosis in aneurysms may occur as a secondary consequence of arteritis: Takayasu's arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, segmental mediolitic arteritis, Behcetov syndromes.Common finding in patients with IMA aneurysms are celiac trunk occlusion and SMA stenosis (''jet disorder'' fenomen) [2,3]. The most common ways of terating these lesions are surgery and in recent years endovascular procedures such as embolization and graft stenting [50,51].…”

Neurofibromatosis type 1, also called von Recklinghausen's disease, is an autosomal dominant disorder linked to chromosome 17, characterized by growth impairment of the neural crest cells (ectoderm) manifested by multiple neural tumors, cutaneous pigmentations, and Lisch nodules. Disease phenotype develops with time, making its penetrance almost complete by 5 years of age. Compression of the gastro-intestinal, urinary, or pulmonary tracts by visceral neurofibromas may generate serious complications. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is remarkable for its association with occlusive (stenoses) or aneurysmal arterial disease affecting predominantly the renal arteries and less often the abdominal aorta (middle aortic syndrome), and mesenteric and peripheral arteries. Appraisal of existing literature reveals that timely vascular intervention by way of conventional surgery and/or endovascular therapy may provide patients with effective and durable treatment. The far greater propensity for malignant connective/soft-tissue neoplasms and vascular disease in neurofibromatosis type 1, amid potential complications from the gastro-intestinal, urinary, and pulmonary tracts, leads to a significantly increased morbidity and decreased life expectancy. Neurofibromatosis type 1, from presentation and diagnosis to its treatment, is reviewed, with emphasis on vascular disease and its management with open vascular surgery and endovascular therapy.

BackgroundVisceral artery aneurysms (VAA), although uncommon, are increasingly being detected. We describe a case of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a ruptured IMA aneurysm associated with stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and celiac trunk, successfully treated with surgery.MethodsA 65-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock. Abdominal CT scan showed an aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery with retroperitoneal hematoma. In addition, an obstructive disease of the superior mesenteric artery and celiac axis was observed.ResultsUpon emergency laparotomy a ruptured inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm was detected. The aneurysm was excised and the artery reconstructed by end-to-end anastomosis.ConclusionsThis report discusses the etiology, presentation, diagnosis and case management of inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms.

Inferior Mesenteric Artery Aneurysm: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Aneurysms of the inferior mesenteric artery are very rare. We report a new case associated with aorto-iliac occlusive disease and occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, as well as review the pertinent literature.
