Aneurysm of the celiac artery is an uncommon clinical problem; fewer than 180 cases have been reported in the world's medical literature. Most patients are symptomatic at the time of diagnosis. However, occasionally such aneurysms are detected incidentally during diagnostic imaging for other diseases. We present of a 54 year- old man who had a symptomatic celiac artery aneurysm detected by Computed tomography. The patient underwent successful resection of the aneurysm and revascularization of the celiac artery common hepatic and splenic arteries with use of an PTFE graft.
