Abstract

Spontaneous isolated dissection of the visceral arteries is a rare disease. Patients either are asymptomatic or may present with diverse symptoms based on the location of dissection, the extent of visceral artery involvement, and the severity of supplied splanchnic organ ischemia. The diagnosis of symptomatic spontaneous IVAD is based on a high index of suspicion and it can usually be made with DUS and CTA in most patients. The predisposing factors, the type and risk of the lesion, and the natural history of IVAD should be well examined in all patients before therapy is initiated.
