Non-operative management of isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery dissection
Isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection is a rare differential for patients presenting with abdominal pain. Due to limited cases reported, management strategies have been poorly defined. We present the case of a 49-year-old male with history of hypertension and ischemic coli...

description | Isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection is a rare differential for patients presenting with abdominal pain. Due to limited cases reported, management strategies have been poorly defined. We present the case of a 49-year-old male with history of hypertension and ischemic colitis, presenting with abdominal pain. CT imaging demonstrated a thrombosed dissection of the SMA extending into second and third order braches. He was managed conservatively with therapeutic anticoagulation. His symptoms improved and upon discharge he was transitioned to aspirin and warfarin. Repeat CT imaging continued to show the dissection with resolution of the SMA thrombus. Spontaneous SMA dissection is exceedingly rare with no universally agreed upon standard of care for treatment. Operative intervention should be reserved for failed conservative management or vascular compromise. Understanding the current treatment options helps ensure a favorable patient outcome. |
